After all, it was just a small matter like handing over a letter. If Wen Su insisted on staying and waiting for Lin Qingxue to return, it would be really troublesome. Now that it went so smoothly, it saved a lot of trouble.

After handing the letter steadily to Wen Su's hands, Wen Su nodded slightly, turned around and started his journey home, heading straight for the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion.

He thought that when he returned home he would have to wash up and tidy up his appearance. When everything was ready, he would have to report to Gu Jinxuan and report to him.

Although this series of itineraries is tight, it is just a daily routine for the well-trained Wensu.

Meanwhile, Lin Qingxue finally had some free time. It was midsummer, and the weather was scorching hot.

However, the Lin family members were still wearing their old clothes from last year. Although they weren't tattered, they did look a bit too plain. Lin Qingxue saw this and felt a headache.

So, after a little thought, she decided to take advantage of her free time and take her sister Lin Qingyue out to buy fabrics so that they could sew new clothes for her family.

Even if he could postpone buying new clothes for the time being, if his brothers and sisters were poorly dressed while studying at the academy, they would inevitably be criticized and their reputation would be damaged.

Thinking of this, Lin Qingxue became even more determined and determined to let her family wear new and decent clothes.

Lin Qingxue and Lin Qingyue came to Jinxiufang, the most prosperous shop in East City. There were all kinds of fabrics in the shop, including colorful silk, thick cotton, and soft and flowing gauze.

Lin Qingxue selected carefully, her fingers gently sliding over each piece of cloth, feeling their texture. Sometimes she picked up a piece of cloth and measured it on Lin Qingyue, and sometimes she asked the shop assistant about the price and the quality of the material.

Lin Qingyue quietly followed her sister, her big eyes darting around curiously. From time to time, she would lean over to Lin Qingxue's ear and whisper her opinion: "Sister, look at that piece of blue cotton cloth. Its color is light, not ostentatious but also looks very simple and elegant. I think it will suit big brother very well! He usually likes this simple yet elegant style."

After saying this, she showed a sweet smile. When Lin Qingxue heard her sister's words, the corners of her mouth rose slightly and she nodded gently to show her agreement.

She reached out and touched the blue cotton cloth, feeling its soft texture and delicate lines, thinking that it would look great if it were made into clothes and worn by her brother.

Thinking of this, her eyes became more gentle, and her heart was filled with love and concern for her family.

The two sisters continued to shuttle and select among the piles of dazzling fabrics. Every time they saw a piece of fabric they liked, they would carefully compare the color, pattern and texture.

After careful selection, they finally chose a variety of fabrics suitable for different family members.

Among them, there are dark-colored cotton cloths prepared for the elders, which appear solemn and steady; there are also light-colored or brightly patterned cloths selected for brothers and sisters, which show youthful vitality and lively personality.

These carefully selected fabrics seem to carry their full love for their families, waiting to be taken home and cut into warm and comfortable clothes to convey the warmth of family love.

When they walked out of Jinxiufang happily, carrying large and small bags of colorful fabrics of various textures, they were shocked to realize that time had quietly passed and it was noon.

At this moment, the scorching sun hung high in the blue sky, mercilessly casting thousands of golden rays on the earth, baking the entire street as hot and stuffy as a steamer.

The originally bustling streets became unusually deserted at this moment, with only a few pedestrians hurriedly walking by. They were either shielding the glaring sunlight with their hands, or running quickly to the shade to avoid the heat.

"Sister, should we go home directly now, or go to the shop to eat something first?"

As Lin Qingyue spoke, she looked up at the sun hanging high in the sky. She saw that its light was getting stronger and stronger, as if it was going to melt everything in the world.

It is almost noon now, and there is no doubt that the upcoming moment will be the time when the sun will be the strongest and the temperature will be the highest in the day.

Lin Qingxue thought for a moment and then replied, "Let's eat at the shop! This way, we can check on the business situation. After all, it's been a while, and maybe we should consider updating the menu. Besides, I haven't been to the store in a while. Since we're out shopping today, I might as well stop by to see how the shop is doing and think about whether it's appropriate to introduce some new dishes."

After saying that, the two sisters smiled at each other, then walked briskly towards their shop.

"Okay! Sister, let's go quickly!" Hearing that they could go to the shop, Lin Qingyue agreed excitedly. The two sisters took a carriage and headed straight to Dongcheng Food Hall.

An ordinary carriage slowly stopped in front of the East City Food Building. The curtain was gently lifted, and two graceful women got off the carriage one after another. These two people were the sisters Lin Qingxue and Lin Qingyue.

As soon as they stepped into the store, a sharp-eyed waiter immediately came up to greet them with a smile on his face: "Hey, Fourth Miss, Sixth Miss, you're finally here! Please come in!"

At this time, the restaurant was crowded with people, with every seat taken. There was a lot of noise and the air was filled with the tempting aroma of various dishes, making people salivate.

As soon as the Lin Qingxue sisters walked into the store, a smart waiter quickly stepped forward and greeted them enthusiastically: "Hello, Fourth Miss and Sixth Miss! Welcome to our store!"

Lin Qingxue looked around and saw that the hall on the first floor was filled with tables and chairs, and at each table were diners who were feasting on their meals.

She frowned slightly, turned to the waiter and said, "Do you have any private rooms here?"

If there were no private rooms, their trip would be in vain. In such hot weather, the thought of a wasted trip would make them unhappy.

"There are two private rooms, just in the two corners upstairs. I wonder what you two would like to eat. I will go and arrange the dishes for you right away," the waiter said to Lin Qingxue and Lin Qingyue, bending over and lowering his voice.

Lin Qingxue thought for a moment and then ordered, "First, bring us a clear soup base, and then two servings of beef and one serving of pork belly. As for the vegetables, just give us enough for the two of us sisters."

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away," said the waiter and went to the kitchen to serve the dishes.

Lin Qingxue smiled and nodded to the waiter, then reached out and held her sister Lin Qingyue's hand, and walked towards the stairs.
