That day, Su Yuejian had just packed her things and was going to Danguixuan to visit Su Wan.

As soon as they went out, the two sisters bumped into each other.

"But what a coincidence! I was just preparing a gift and was going to visit my sister." Su Yuejian stepped forward and took Su Wan's hand, "I wish my sister good luck in her new shop."

Su Wan tapped her little nose and raised her lips and said, "What a sweet little mouth. I'm really grateful for your good words."

Turning around, he took the tray from Xiao Fu's hand and said, "The textile shop has made two new types of gauze, Xueyun gauze and Guxiang gauze. The Xueyun gauze is most suitable for young ladies. I have reserved two pieces to make clothes for you. See if you like it."

Su Yuejian looked at the cloud-like light clothes in front of her. One dress was a sky-blue dress embroidered with clear lotus and blue waves, which was extremely fresh and refined. The other was a light lilac dress with a blue-purple gradient, embellished with iris embroidery and clouds, which was romantic and elegant.

"It's so beautiful, I like it! I like it so much!" Su Yuejian touched the soft dress, her bright eyes curved into crescents.

"Miss Wan, you've worked so hard. You're so busy but still think about our princess. The princess's favorite dresses in her wardrobe were all made by Miss Wan."

Yuzhu grinned and said to Su Wan.

Su Wan looked at Su Yuejian's bright smile and said, "Since you like it, I will take care of Yue'er's wardrobe from now on!"

"You're so generous! I'd better hold on tight to you, sister!" Su Yuejian said as she hugged Su Wan's arm tightly and refused to let go.

The two sisters joked around for a while, and the maids beside them also laughed happily.

Su Wan also prepared some ancient scented gauze clothes to give to Old Madam Su and Su Lin. Coincidentally, Su Yuejian was going to pay her respects, so the two of them went to Rong'an Hall together.

Rong'an Hall

Old Madam Su and Father Su were trying on the clothes made by Su Wan.

"This cloud of fortune and longevity is so delicately embroidered! This is the first time I've seen such fine embroidery!"

Lu Yun looked at the clothes on Madam Su and exclaimed in admiration.

Lu Yun's ancestor was an imperial embroiderer in the palace, and she was quite proficient in embroidery needlework. Even she praised it so much, which shows that Su Wan's embroidery skills are indeed unique.

"Wan girl, this is really thoughtful." The old lady touched the soft satin on her body and smiled gently. "This gauze is much lighter and more breathable than what I wore in the summer before. This is the first time I've seen it."

Su Lin also nodded repeatedly, unable to let go of it and said, "Indeed, it feels much lighter when I wear it than the clothes I wore before."

Su Wan said, "This is a new satin made by the textile factory. It combines the soft smoke yarn and cloud yarn commonly used in summer. It is cool and sun-proof."

"Okay, okay! It looks really good." Su Lin said with a smile.

Su Yue said, "Dad, the white crane on this dress can't fly, so don't get the sweat stains on your hands on it."

"You." Su Lin snorted coldly and tapped her forehead.

"You should also learn from Wan'er. Look at how skillful your sister's embroidery is. I saw the crane on the purse you embroidered last time. It looked like a duck and a bird, fat and round, and it couldn't even fly."

"Pfft..." Everyone covered their lips to hold back their laughter after hearing this, even Old Madam Su laughed out loud.

Su Yuejian looked at Old Madam Su, then looked at Su Wan who was smiling with her hands covering her lips.

"Hmph, Daddy, haven't you heard that everyone has their own expertise?" Su Yue blushed.

"Alright, Yue'er is still young, so just practice more in the future." Madam Su smiled and turned to look at Su Wan. "I heard that Su's business has been booming recently. I know you are a capable person, but business is full of good and bad people. If you are bullied outside, don't bear it yourself, just come back and tell us."

Su Lin also nodded and said to her gently, "Wan'er, you are the daughter of the Su family. Like Yue'er, you are our treasure. Don't let yourself be wronged."

Su Wan's eyes turned red as she listened to what they said.

These days, everyone in the Taifu Mansion treated her with respect and courtesy.

Su Lin and Old Madam Su never showed any bias towards her and Su Yuejian, and always prepared two identical gifts for them.

When she said she wanted to do business, Madam Su and Su Lin did not object at all. Instead, they found many business friends familiar to the Su family to help and guide her.

She also wanted to do something for them.

She didn't dare to give them these clothes at first, fearing that they would think they were cheap, but she didn't expect that they would put them on right away.

That look of love cannot be faked.

Su Lin said that she was their baby, which made Su Wan very moved. Apart from her father and mother, no one else had ever said that to her.

It was great. She never thought that one day she would be able to live such a warm and happy life.

Su Yuejian saw that she was about to cry, so he held her hand and patted it gently.

Seeing the deep affection between the sisters, Old Lady Su nodded slightly.

"The Hibiscus Tea Party will be held in a few days. You two sisters shouldn't stay at home alone while the other one is busy with business. Young people should have fun and relax."

The two sisters nodded in response.

Su Yuejian had heard of this Hibiscus Tea Party in her previous life, but had never been there.

The Hibiscus Tea Party is the largest gathering in Kyoto in summer, hosted by the Xie family.

The dignitaries, talented men and beautiful women of Kyoto gathered together to drink tea, appreciate lotus flowers, talk about poetry and philosophy, and recite poems and compose essays.

The most special thing is that every year at the Hibiscus Tea Party, a competition is arranged in the order of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and this year it happens to be a chess competition.

The winner can get the prize prepared by the head of the Xie family.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s lucky or not, what matters is that it can catch the eye of Master Xie.

In addition, there are many dignitaries attending the tea party, and outstanding talents and ladies can become famous overnight.

A man may be promoted to an aide or retainer, and a woman may become famous and find a good marriage partner.

……

Soon the day of the Hibiscus Flower Festival arrived.

Yuzhu said, "Princess, today we are admiring the lotus flowers. This Tianshui Bi Lotus dress made by Miss Wan is perfect for the occasion!"

Su Yuejian smiled and nodded, "Then this one, and the hairpin should still be the Liuyun Zhuiyue."

Yuzhu and Yinxin smiled at each other.

The Liuyun Zhuiyue hairpin was a gift from the Regent.

The white jade hairpin is as light as a cloud, and its streamlined design is like the clouds flowing in the night sky. The head of the hairpin is inlaid with a large, lustrous and plump white pearl, and is connected to a slender pearl tassel below. Each pearl is round and emits colorful light.

Xiao Heng has been very busy with official duties lately and recently went out of town to deal with banditry, so he hasn't come to see Su Yuejian for quite some time.

However, no matter how busy he was, he would write to her every day, and along with the letters, he would send her various small gifts.

Sometimes it is luxurious clothes, sometimes it is rare treasures, sometimes it is precious medicinal materials, and sometimes it is novel cakes and snacks... Although Xiao Heng is not here, there are endless changes every day.

After the two men finished dressing up Su Yuejian, their eyes lit up.

"The princess is so beautiful, she looks even more radiant with this moon-chasing hairpin!"

"That's right. The prince is so kind to the princess. He knows that the princess likes pearls. I don't know where he found such a large white pearl. It is really beautiful!"

Yuzhu and Yinxin praised him one by one.

"You two are such chatterboxes. Let's go, Sister Wan should be waiting in the carriage."
