Chapter 279 Dressing Up Carefully
Chapter 279 Dressing Up Carefully
Yue and her family were having dinner in the yard when they saw Bai Ling come out from the backyard. They were not surprised at all. Yue's cousin Zhu laughed and said, "Ling, you've brought Yue some good things again."
The news of Bai Ling dyeing silk had spread throughout the entire tribe, and Zhu, of course, knew about it too. He even went to Bai Ling's yard to see the dyed silk, which was absolutely stunning.
Bai Ling made such beautiful silk, she would definitely send some to Yue, which is why Zhu said that.
Bai Ling found a rock to sit on and smiled, "Yes, I made a dress for Yue using dyed silk."
Now, not only Zhu, but also Yue's grandfather and great-uncle became interested and asked what kind of clothes they were.
Yue also put down her chopsticks and looked at Bai Ling with bright eyes.
Bai Ling took the clothes out of her arms and showed them to Yue and her family with her hands: "I made short-sleeved shirts and shorts. They'll be very cool to wear in the summer."
Both garments were of the simplest style, without any decorations, but because they were made of dyed silk, they still made everyone's eyes widen.
Yue's gaze was particularly intense. He stared at Bai Ling's unfolded clothes for a long time before saying, "Ling, I like it very much."
He stepped forward, took the clothes from Bai Ling's hands, and examined them several times before smiling and saying, "Ling, I'll put the clothes away first."
Bai Ling handed the silk in her hand to Yue: "Yue, this is the rest of the silk, you can put it away too."
Zhu called out from the side, "Yue, don't put your clothes away, put them on and let us see!"
Yue shook her head: "Brother, I'll wear these clothes tomorrow. There's no time for today."
Bai Ling immediately understood what Yue meant by "there's not enough time." Yue meant that there wasn't enough time to get dressed today, so she would have to do it tomorrow.
He's going to dress up nicely tomorrow and wear these two new outfits.
Yue's great-uncle and grandfather didn't understand, nor did Zhu. Bai Ling explained for Yue, "Yue really likes the clothes I gave him. He wants to dress up carefully before wearing them."
Bai Ling explained it very clearly, and Yue's grandfather, great-grandfather, and Zhu immediately understood. The three of them laughed.

The next day, after Yue finished eating breakfast and put down her chopsticks, Zhu pulled her into the bedroom.
He opened the closet in the bedroom and took out all of Yue's jewelry at once: "Yue, sit down quickly, let me dress you up carefully."
Yuewei shook her head slightly: "Brother, there's no need to go to so much trouble. I can just wear a few pieces of jewelry."
Zhu: "How can that be? You'll be wearing silk clothes later. You can't just leave without dressing up nicely."
"Brother, really, it's not necessary. The clothes Ling gave me are all simple styles. I can just tie my hair up and wear a hair accessory. Making it too complicated will only make it look worse."
Yue chose a simple headdress, a string of pearls. He tied up his long, silvery-white hair, which was as white as moonlight, and then wrapped the pearl hair ornament around the base of his hair.
Yue felt that her outfit was already acceptable and was about to stand up from the chair when Zhu pressed her back down: "Yue, sit down first, let me apply some lipstick for you."
Zhu took out two red stones from the cabinet and a ceramic bowl. He then rubbed the two stones together above the bowl, and red powder fell from the stones.
A layer of red powder had accumulated at the bottom of the bowl. Zhu took some water and dripped it into the bowl, making the red powder thicken.
Zhu used her fingertips to pick up the thick red paste and applied it to Yue's lips.
"As long as it doesn't get wet, the color won't fade. Yue, remember not to lick your lips with your tongue. When you eat lunch, remember to wash the red color off your lips with clean water."
Zhu was going to work in the carpentry group, otherwise he would have gone with Yue to join in the fun. He dressed Yue up, looked at her from left to right, and made sure that the lip shape he drew on Yue was very beautiful before nodding in satisfaction.
"Alright, Yue, go change your clothes."

Xiao and several other young orcs, carrying baskets and sickles, walked to the front of the Yue family's house and shouted, "Yue, let's go!"
When Yue emerged from the house dressed in white, his clothes caught the eyes of the young beastmen.
Xiao Ze simply ran into the Yue family's courtyard, circled around Yue, and touched the hem of Yue's clothes with her hand, her eyes full of envy and admiration: "Yue, did Ling give you these clothes?"
In the entire tribe, only the Ling family has such beautiful silk. The clothes Yue is wearing must have been a gift from Ling.
Yue nodded, her eyes filled with pride and satisfaction: "Yes, it was given to me by Ling."
Xiao was extremely envious. Before he could say anything more, Yue took out a folded handkerchief from her pocket, pulled one out, and handed it to Xiao: "Xiao, this is for you."
Besides clothes, Ling also gave him a beautiful piece of silk. There wasn't enough silk to make clothes, but it could be used to make some small trinkets.
After getting up in the morning, Yue cut some silk and made handkerchiefs. In addition to her family, Yue also prepared some for her friends.
Yue doesn't have many friends, but she's more familiar with a few young female orcs. Young females love beauty, so if you give them a beautiful silk handkerchief, they'll definitely love it.
Xiao was so happy to receive the handkerchief that he could hardly speak. He grabbed Yue's arm and walked towards the gate of the fence, waving the handkerchief in his hand as he walked: "Look what this is!"
The handkerchiefs in Xiao's hands quickly caught the attention of the young orcs. When Yue handed a stack of handkerchiefs to them, their reaction was the same as Xiao's: they all froze on the spot.
Then came a huge surprise.
Heaven knows how envious they were after seeing the beautiful silk drying at Ling's house yesterday. They even dreamed of having a piece of such beautiful silk. Now that they had received such a handkerchief, how could the beastmen not be overjoyed?
The young orcs thanked Yue profusely, then carefully put the handkerchief away. Such a beautiful handkerchief—they couldn't bear to use it to wipe their sweat; they had to treasure it.

The orcs gathered in the tribe's square. Bai Ling and Chen came over after breakfast. He didn't go to find Yue because Yue had made plans to come with her friends.
When Bai Ling arrived, the moon had not yet risen. After greeting the tribespeople, Bai Ling craned his neck to look towards the tribe.
After waiting for a while, the person he was waiting for finally appeared.
Yue walked among a group of young orcs. He had his hair tied in a ponytail and was wearing the clothes he had delivered yesterday.
Bai Ling knew that Yue had a great figure, and no matter what kind of clothes she wore, she could make it look like she was walking the runway.
But Bai Ling still didn't expect that Yue could look so good in the simplest short-sleeved shirt and shorts.
