Read I Am This Type of Woman Chapter 10

Chapter 10

Seeing that Junzhu was angered to this extent, the stewardess felt more and more bitter, It was Ban Jun Princess. This old slave heard that Jingting Houfu has acquired white fox fur from all over the capital, just because Ban Jun Princess said that she lacked white fox furs.

Kangning Junzhu nearly spit out blood in anger.

It is Jingting Houfu again!

Ban Hua that little bitch couldnt she just stop for a moment?!

To think that she, as a Junzhu, had to be cautious everywhere and pay attention to everything,so as not to let the current Emperor be suspicious. She didnt dare to display the slightest ostentation in food, clothing, and transportation in fear that the Emperor would grab an excuse to make trouble. Obviously, she had a higher status than Ban Hua, but in the palace, Ban Hua was given more face. Even outside the palace, those people too respected Ban Hua more than her, a Junzhu.

Seeing that Kangning Junzhu was so angry that her face was white, the old stewardess was distressed and helplessly tried to soothe her saying, Junzhu, that Ban Jun Princess is a recklessly ostentatious person. People like you should not lower yourself to argue with this kind of person.

Kangning Junzhu smashed the cup of tea in her hand resentfully on the ground and said sharply, I will return todays shame doublefold in the future.

Originally, she had thought that Ban Hua, who had been ruined by having her engagement broken several times, would learn to keep a low profile but unexpectedly she hadnt learnt even a little lesson and was still going her own way as before.

She didnt understand that. As a woman, Ban Hua has been rejected several times by prospective husbands. Did she really not feel a single bit of shame in her heart?

Its only been a few months but the white fox fur is gone? Wang Ada looked at the furs presented by various businesses and shook his head. These furs are all variegated. Although our uncle is not picky, but he cant go out wearing fox fur with variegated colors.

The store manager had also anticipated that the furs he had presented this time would not be acceptable to the purchasing agent in Chengan bofu and so he didnt feel disappointed, but instead laughed and said, Wang Guanshi, these are indeed the best furs in our store right now. This lowly one dares not lie to you.

The best? Wang Ada sneered, Do you think I havent seen good quality things before?

You may not know this, Wang Guanshi, but this year our shop received two of the best quality furs, but just two days ago, the housekeeper of the Eldest Princess Palace came to collect the furs in our shop. How can merchants like us dare to offend these big households? We had no choice but to let the housekeeper take away the two best quality furs.

The Eldest Princess Palace? Wang Ada stared blankly. At the Eldest Princess age, could she still wear this kind of bright color ?

Yes, it was indeed the housekeeper of the Eldest Princess Palace. But this lowly one heard that these furs were bought by the Eldest Princess for her granddaughter. As for whether this news is true and false, this lowly one does not know. The store manager didnt dare to gossip about the affairs of royals and after telling Wang Ada this news, he would not say another word.

After Wang Ada heard his words, his expression became much better, I understand. You leave by yourself.

Yes. Seeing that the stewards expression was not ugly anymore, the shop manager secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Fortunately, ChengAn bofu was reasonable, otherwise he might have had to suffer some misfortune today.

Wang Ada told his superior of the matter and his superior passed it on to the housekeeper, but his words changed a little bit in meaning when they were passed on.

You said that Ban Jun Princess snatched the things that our household wanted to buy? Rong Xia who was painting when he heard the housekeepers report, laughed lightly: Young ladies like these types of white, fluffy things. If she wants to buy them, then let her buy them.

Yes. The housekeeper stood in front of Rong Xia not daring to put on airs.

Oh, by the way Rong Xia unhurriedly lowered his pen and looked up at the housekeeper. The mandarin oranges that were bought last time didnt suit my taste. Deal with it appropriately.

Yes. The housekeepers waist bowed lower.

Rong Xia put his hands behind his back and his eyes fell on a picture scroll depicting an old man riding a red-crowned crane and holding a peach of immortality.

Sister, why are you collecting so many white fox furs? Do you want to build a nest or something? Ban Heng had watched people delivering white fox furs every day for the past few days. Its just that some of these skins are complete and others have flaws and the prices differ accordingly.

Im buying furs to make clothes, a mantle, gloves and hair ornaments, and I am still worried that this much fur wont be enough, Ban Hua said, flipping through the booklet in her hand which recorded the various objects stored in her small warehouse. If there is any surplus, Ill make you a scarf with it.

After spending so much money, you finally thought of making a scarf for me. You are really generous, Ban Heng reached out to grab a pastry from the table. His Majesty is going to the western suburbs to hunt in a few days. Will you be going too?

Of course Im going. Ban Hua said excitedly, For this autumn hunt, Ive specially prepared several sets of clothes.

For example, among these sets, a few embroiderers had spent almost a month to make just one set of riding clothes, specifically so she could shine at this autumn hunt. If she didnt go, wouldnt it waste the efforts of the embroiderers who had specially prepared those riding clothes?

Ban Heng looked at Ban Hua with sympathetic eyes. With his sisters ability, the four arts* were all not to be spoken of. Only when hunting, could she compete with other noble girls.

Hua Hua, Yin Shi walked in, seeing that both sister and brother were there, and put the box in her hand in front of Ban Hua, This hairpin was left to me by your maternal grandmother but I havent worn it all these years. When you were young, you saw it and asked me for it. At that time, I was worried that you wouldnt take care of it well and break it. So I didnt give it to you.

Yin Shi opened the box and took out a hairpin, clear and transparent at the root turning into a gorgeous red at the head of the hairpin. Somehow, it was like a few gorgeous vermilion fruits atop an icicle, at the same time clear as crystal yet red like fire.

I think that when winter comes, if you wear this vermilion hairpin with the white fox fur coat, it will look really good. Yin Shi clapped her hands in satisfaction after giving the vermilion hairpin to Ban Hua.

My daughter is really the most beautiful in the whole capital!

Although a mother looking at her child always feels that they are naturally the best, but this hairpin truly suited the flower-like appearance of Ban Hua.

Thank you mother. Banyu took Yin Shis arm and rocked it softly back and forth, leaning coquettishly on Yin Shis shoulder.

You, Yinshi tapped her forehead and couldnt help laughing. If it werent for your maternal grandmothers premature death, how could I have been married to your father?

Whats wrong with being married to me? Ban Huai, who had just come to the door, heard his lady speaking such words and walked moodily to sit down beside Ban Hua, with his entire face showing that he was aggrieved, We have two children and you still dislike me.

Yin Shi, without even looking at his wronged appearance, said Whether I dislike you or not, dont you know for yourself?

In those days, Ban Huai was a famous wastrel in Beijing. Of the households with appropriate social status, who would wish to marry their daughter to him to seek benefits? Only she, whose birth mother had died prematurely, a weak and fickle father and a stepmother who was a woman with the words of a Buddha, heart of a snake*, was finally married to Ban Huai. The days after marriage were not as difficult as she had imagined. Although Ban Huai was a wastrel, he did not have bad habits like lustfulness or gambling. In fact, he was just lazy and liked to play a little bit. In other respects, he really didnt seem to be a wastrel.

Will you have some? Ban Heng picked up a piece of red date cake from the plate and handed it to Ban Hua. Ignoring his parents who were in the middle of deciding were you wronged or was I wronged, he said lazily, I specifically inquired and there a lot of young, talented men who will be going to the autumn hunt. You look at them carefully and see if there are any worth seeing.

Ban Hua felt that the red date cake was a bit greasy and threw it back to Ban Heng: You usually spend a lot of time playing around outside. Have you ever met a man in the capital who has a straight posture, outstanding temperament, good-looking hands, and also likes to wear black clothes?

The man in her dreams always seemed to wear black coloured, dark patterned clothes which looked very luxurious at a single glance.

Black clothes? Ban Heng didnt think twice that the red date cake had been nibbled by Ban Hua before she threw it back and tossed it into his mouth. After eating it in two or three bites, he said, There are some with straight posture, some with outstanding temperament and there ought to be some with good hands, but I havent really paid attention to that aspect. However, theres really noone Ive met who meets these three criteria who also likes to wear black clothing. How could he pay attention to other mens hands to see whether they were good looking or not?

Is there really noone? Ban Hua cupped her face in her hands, You think about it carefully.

In the capital, which nobleman who is said to be good looking doesnt dress head to toe in light coloured clothes? If one wears black or gray, then how can one pretend to be a man of noble character? Ban Heng said disdainfully, This is the same as how those talented women and beautiful ladies of the capital dont dress us as gorgeously as you do, do you understand?

Ban Hua rolled her eyes: Whats wrong with me dressing up gorgeously? I look beautiful!

Ban Heng glanced at Ban Hua, and had to admit that his sister was indeed beautiful. But as for those sons of noble families who are good at pretending, even if they really did have a little inclination toward his sister in their hearts, they would only pretend to be more upright and wouldnt even look at his sister in order to show that they are not addicted to beauty, but instead are upright men of noble character who only value the temperament and inner beauty of women,

But how many times they covertly peeked at her, only they themselves knew in their hearts.

He is a man himself, although he is not a so-called man of noble character, but he still understands the deeply rooted, innate bad qualities of men. But Ban Heng would never let his sister know about this kind of dirty thing. His elder sister was a silly, simple and uncomplicated Jun Princess. Those messy things were not suitable for her to know.

Very, very, very beautiful! You are the most beautiful in the entire country. Ban Heng said with a perfunctory attitude, No matter what others wear, they cant be compared to you.

Good boy. Ban tranquil patted his head and smilingly said, You should have said that earlier.

Recently, she hadnt spoken about her dreams very much to her family and her family too had not mentioned the subject much. It seemed that they just wanted to forget about what may happen five years later and had chosen to live happily in the moment.

Anyway, she knew that her family would live well in the future and she was content.

At the end of September, in the season when the leaves fell and the grass withered, Emperor Yun Qing began the annual autumn hunting activity. Although the Jingting Houfu did not have much real power, their family status was high and they were intimate with the royal family. So they would not lack a place at this kind of occasion.

On that day, Ban Hua deliberately rose early in the morning to dress. She washed her face, applied cosmetics and delicately painted on her makeup in front of the mirror. Although her hair was pulled up into a man style bun, her hair crest (f gun*) was a womans style gold leaf b yo* which swayed gently back and forth with each step.

Ban Heng had done several circuits around the door of Ban Huas courtyard before he heard the sound of Ban Huas footsteps coming from behind him. He turned around happily and said, Youve finally come out. We will reach there late if we dont leave soon.

When he saw Ban Huas dressed up appearance clearly, he froze and stared blankly for a moment.

Oh my dear sister! You are this is

Seeing you, those men may not have the mood to hunt!
