An old eunuch sat in the corner of Old Madam Xu's yard. There were a few palace maids holding clothes, cloth and jewelry boxes standing behind him.
The door curtains lifted and two young ladies entered. The older girl was about 14 or 15. She wore a long pink dress with blue peacock prints. Her skirt danced above the ground and she wore a white satin shirt outside her skirt, showing off the elegant peacock print on her print shirt. Her skirt and sleeve cuffs were edged with silver-white clouds. Yes, she was slender and good looking. She was beautiful!
