Chapter 193 Yu 9er is risking it all
Shang Buqun usually looks very generous, but now he is as stingy as a child.
Before Yu Jiuer could think of a reason to reject him, he had already picked up the ready-made clothes for Jun Mo and was about to put them on.
She rushed over and snatched it away in a hurry: "This is a couple's edition, it's not suitable for you!"
"What is a couple's style? I think this one is soft yet strong, and strong yet soft. It's very suitable. I want this one!" Shang Buqun reached out to grab it.
Yu Jiuer put the clothes behind her, raised her foot to stop the big man who was about to pounce on her to grab the clothes, and coaxed her: "This one has tight sleeves, which is not suitable for your literary temperament. You are suave and handsome, and it would be great if you could wear a wide-sleeved robe and look as handsome as a banished immortal."
Shang Buqun smiled evilly: "Really? How handsome is he?"
This flattery successfully made Shang Buqun's tail stick up.
"You are as handsome as you can be, otherwise those infatuated women out there would not be so crazy about you!" Yu Jiuer continued to flatter him.
But what she said was sincere. This girl really has a good appearance and looks good in anything.
"Don't mention those flies to me!" Shang Buqun waved his hand in disgust, then raised his eyebrows to Yu Jiuer with a proud look on his face.
"You have good taste! In that case, please help me choose two models! Do you want to measure my body yourself? My figure is better than your prince's."
"No, no, the tailors in the shop can already recite your measurements by heart!" Yu Jiuer waved her hands repeatedly. She felt that Shang Buqun was a man who was eager to create chaos and who particularly liked to play tricks on people.
She hurriedly changed the subject: "I will have someone make it for the Prime Minister right away. I guarantee that when the Prime Minister wears it, he will be so gorgeous that no one can match him!"
"Yu Jiuer, we are so familiar with each other now. From now on, when there is no one around, you can just call me Brother Shang. Calling me 'Prime Minister' all the time is too polite and too unfamiliar!" Shang Buqun was not at all shy with Yu Jiuer.
"Then I won't be polite! Brother Shang!" Yu Jiuer was very sensible. It had always been her dream to have a rich brother.
Hehe, it would be great if he could pamper her like Brother Cheng Ming from the Western Region Camp.
The businessman is as wealthy as a country, so wouldn't she be making a fortune?
"Haha! Sister Yu, you don't have to be polite! This is more friendly!"
Shang Buqun looked at her sideways, with an ambiguous light in his eyes, as if he had hunted down the prey he had longed for.
Sister Yu?
This name made Yu Jiuer feel weird and something was wrong!
If Jun Mo heard this voice of "Sister Yu", she would have to say goodbye to freedom forever.
Yu Jiuer said quickly: "Brother Shang, when no one is around, you should just call me Ninth Miss! The name 'Sister Yu'... causes controversy! It's inappropriate!"
Shang Buqun smiled and said, "I didn't expect that you, who are fearless and carefree, would care so much about Prince Jing? Does Prince Jing distrust you so much?"
"Be careful and you will be safe!" Yu Jiuer raised her hand and patted his shoulder, saying with the tone of an experienced person, "You haven't married yet, so you don't understand!"
The guy in her family is a real jealous person!
Ten days passed in a flash, and after much hard work, more than a hundred sets of ready-made clothes and jewelry designed by Yu Jiuer were finally ready.
The shop did not disappoint her and she was very satisfied with the finished products.
The next step is to find suitable models, have them wear the clothes and jewelry she designed during the Lantern Festival, board the flower boats, sing and dance on the boats, and then release lanterns to attract everyone's attention.
However, Shang Buqun and Yu Jiuer had a heated disagreement about the model.
Yu Jiuer insisted on using the singing girl from the capital's Yue Man Xi Lou as a model, but Shang Buqun, the eldest son, was arrogant and thought that a prostitute would dirty the things made by his shop, so he firmly disagreed.
"I know all about it. The singing girls in Yue Man Xi Lou sell their art but not their bodies. They are as clean as can be. Are you suffering from misogyny again?" Yu Jiuer felt a headache. She had explained it at least ten times, but this guy still refused to give in.
"Those singing girls, don't even think about getting on my boat!" Shang Buqun said arrogantly, "The actresses I found are a thousand times more charming than those singing girls!"
Yu Jiuer was so angry that she slammed her hand on the table and shouted, "You are totally prejudiced! Most actors are men, and they put on makeup to make it difficult to tell whether they are male or female. They are demons! How can they dance with the charm I want? Singing girls make a living by singing and dancing, and they have beautiful and graceful figures. They are the most suitable candidates!"
The loud voice made Yueying, who was guarding outside the door, glance inside unconsciously: Master is too bold, it's ok to come to the merchant's wine shop to meet a foreign man, but dare to be so loud to attract attention? Really not afraid of death!
"Why are you so excited? Actors travel far and wide and sing about all kinds of life. Is there anything they can't perform? Don't underestimate them!" Shang Buqun drank his wine slowly and refused to give in.
Yu Jiuer's eyes turned and she tried to negotiate with him: "If you agree to use the singing girl from the Moonlit West Tower, I will sing "White Fox" for you on the flower boat, okay?"
"Sing for me? Are you serious?" Shang Buqun sat up straight, closed the folding fan in his hand, and looked interested.
"A word is as good as gold, and it cannot be taken back!" Yu Jiuer risked her life.
Two days later, the New Year's Day Lantern Festival arrived as scheduled.
The eighth princess was taken out of the palace by Jun Mo when night fell.
Before leaving, Jun Mo instructed: "You go to Dongling Lake by yourselves first. I will send someone to protect you secretly. I will pick you up when I am done!"
Yu Jiuer looked obedient and nodded.
She had expected that Jun Mo, a busy man, would definitely not have the time to accompany her to watch the lanterns.
The carriage arrived at Dongling Lake. As soon as Yu Jiuer and the Eighth Princess got off the carriage, a group of noble ladies from aristocratic families came towards them.
Leading the group were Rong Wan'er, the talented girl from Beijing who competed with her that day, Song Wanqing, and the musician Jiang Yueru.
The Eighth Princess wanted to keep a low profile, so she wore a veil and followed Yu Jiuer pretending to be a maid, so none of them recognized her.
A group of people surrounded Yu Jiuer, the Eighth Princess, Yu Tao, Lu Xiu and other maids.
"How dare a concubine like you come out to watch the lanterns so brazenly when you're not at home late at night? Did you sneak out?" Rong Wan'er's sarcastic voice sounded.
Song Wanqing didn't give her a chance to breathe, and immediately accused her of being immoral: "A concubine is also a concubine. Since you are a concubine, you should behave yourself. You ran out in the middle of the night. Are you meeting your lover in secret?"
Jiang Ruyue went even further and sentenced her directly: "Of course! A woman like you who has no sense of self-discipline and is full of coquettishness should be arrested and thrown into a chicken coop!"
Her words caused the other noble ladies to sneer: "Shameless!"
The Eighth Princess couldn't stand it anymore and was about to tear off her veil and scold them, but was stopped by Yu Jiuer.
If the Eighth Princess rashly reveals her identity, both she and the prince will be in trouble.
Yu Jiuer clenched her fist, wondering what her chances of winning were if she threw this punch.
She has secret guards, but the other side has more people, so there must be a lot of secret guards as well.
More and more people are gathering on the shore, and a fight is not going to look good!
While hesitating, Yu Jiuer suddenly saw provocation and expectation in their eyes?
What were they expecting? To get mad at her?
So that's how it is, Yu Jiuer sneered in her heart, they were deliberately provoking her!
They wanted to accuse her of being a concubine who went out at night to meet her lover, and they also wanted to kill the noble lady.
Maybe she also wanted to file a complaint with the Censorate and force Jun Mo to demote her to a divorced wife!
What a beautiful thought!
Yu Jiuer smiled cunningly. Are the secret guards brought by a concubine like her not enough to fight against them?
They are blind!
She brought her mouth!
Yu Jiuer pointed at them and started to scold them: "You call yourselves ladies from noble families, but you spread rumors and slander, and you are thicker-skinned than a city wall! You can even say dirty words about prostitutes. I'm afraid that all the prostitutes in the brothel will have to bow down to you!
You, Rong Wan'er, shamelessly covet your cousin and even lead others to bully your cousin's wife. Are you worthy of your grandfather's teachings? Didn't the prince make it clear to you?
You, Song Wanqing, if your father, Lord Song, knew that his well-behaved and dignified daughter was actually a vicious and cruel person, would he be so angry that he would vomit blood?
And you, Jiang Ruyue, your father, Lord Jiang, spent a lot of effort to send you, a concubine, to the palace and to the throne of the musician, right? If the emperor knew that his musician was a vicious person with evil intentions, I wonder if your father would sacrifice you to protect the family's honor? ......"
With every retort Yu Jiuer made, their faces became more embarrassed, and they all glared at Yu Jiuer with ferocious looks.
However, at this point, whoever strikes first will lose.
Therefore, even though the situation was tense and everyone clenched their fists, no one dared to act rashly.
Yu Jiuer looked at their twisted angry faces with satisfaction: "Very good! It's right to be angry, keep burning the anger in your chest, the stronger the better! We are about to board the ship, sorry I can't keep you company!"
After saying that, he took the Eighth Princess and walked towards Shang Buqun’s double-decker luxury flower boat.
The ladies screamed, and various taunts followed one after another:
"You are overestimating yourself! That is the Prime Minister's flower boat. Who do you think you are? Can you get on it just because you want to?"
"We, the beautiful ladies, come to the Lantern Festival every year, but we don't even have the chance to get close to the boats. How can you, a concubine, dream of getting close? You are simply wishful thinking!"
"A country girl doesn't know the rules. It's not her fault that a toad wants to eat swan flesh!"
"Let's just wait and see her being kicked off the boat by the Prime Minister!"
