The Fuyou Street was bustling, with everyone watching as Chen Ji mounted a horse and left with Zhang Xia, leaving Qi Zhaoning behind in the heavy snow.
However, the two of them and the horse were stopped by a woman at the end of Fuyou Street.
When the words "foolishness" exploded on Fuyou Street, everyone fell silent for a moment before the crowd erupted: "Who is that woman? She's dressed so elegantly."
Someone in the crowd explained, "That is the wife of Zhang Zhuo, the Minister of Personnel. She is the niece of Official Xu, and the mother of the Second Miss Zhang, Xu Yihong."
A man whispered, "I've seen her at the running hall gatherings. The official wives all revolve around her."
Mrs. Zhang's upper garment was made of Kesi silk, with the patterns only visible when it moved in the daylight, revealing a symmetrical and harmonious cloud pattern. Around her waist was a crow-blue colored sash, and on it hung a white jade belt hook, pure and warm like congealed fat.
