After being reborn, her aloof ex-husband and her crazy deceased husband got into a fight.

After Lan Tingzhou said "break his leg," Gan Cai'er's stay-at-home order was lifted.

Gan Cai'er's new shop is called "Caiyun Pavilion". The address is on Qianmen Street, not far from Lan Mansion, only three blocks away. If you take a carriage there, it will only take half a cup of tea.

The first garment made for Du Ke at Caiyun Pavilion was a riding outfit. Du Ke now has two teachers: Lanting Zhou for literature and Lanting Zhi for martial arts.

Although Du Ke also performed the apprenticeship ceremony for Lan Tingzhi, the one who truly taught him martial arts was not Lan Tingzhi, but Lan Tingzhi's good friend Kang Bo.

The acquaintance between Lanting and Kangbo was rather complicated, a case of "becoming friends after a fight." After their initial meeting, they quickly became friends.

Kang Bo was a wandering swordsman, highly skilled in martial arts, with a carefree and easygoing personality, content with his lot. He had no place to stay in the capital, spending his time in inns when he had money and sleeping in dilapidated temples when he had none. Upon learning of this, Lan Tingzhi invited him to stay at the Lan residence. So Kang Bo took up residence there. Not wanting to eat and stay for free, he volunteered to become the head of the Lan residence's guards.

After a long talk with Lan Tingzhou, he agreed.

Later, one day, Kang Bo met Du Ke, who was attending a class. He thought Du Ke had good aptitude, so he would teach him a few martial arts moves in his spare time. Seeing this, Lan Tingzhi became interested and also wanted to teach Du Ke martial arts.

So Lan Tingzhou simply made Du Ke a disciple of Lan Tingzhi, and made Lan Tingzhi his martial arts master.

Lan Tingzhi happily agreed. Gan Cai'er glanced at Lan Tingzhi's beaming face, hesitating to speak. Oh well, as long as he's happy. Less knowledge, less trouble.

When Granny Huang did not object to Kang Bo's contact with Du Ke, Gan Cai'er knew that this person's identity was extraordinary. His arrival at the Lan residence was no accident; he was either sent by the Yao family or by the palace.

Gan Cai'er bought Du Ke a foal, reddish-brown in color, with big, round eyes, and a very docile temperament.

"Madam Lan, is this really for me?!" Du Ke kept circling the pony, unable to contain his excitement.

"Of course it's for you. Only you can ride such a small horse." Gan Cai'er laughed and patted his head.

"But, but this is too expensive." Du Ke liked it, but he was still a little hesitant.

“You are the master’s only disciple. As your teacher’s wife, I can afford to give you a horse.” Gan Cai’er handed the horse’s reins to Du Ke.

"Next month, you'll be going on a summer hunt with your husband. You'd better learn to ride well so you can make your husband proud."

"Don't worry, Madam Lan, I will practice riding and archery diligently and will never let you down, sir!" Du Ke happily took the reins.

"Eighth Young Master, come, I'll teach you horsemanship." Kang Bo led Du Ke away.

"Madam Lan, you're so kind. I thank you on behalf of my master," said Granny Huang in a low voice.

"Oh dear, Granny Huang, you're too kind! A few days ago, when I opened my new shop, Her Majesty the Empress sent me a golden toad, which is much more expensive than this little pony," Gan Cai'er said with a smile, waving her hand dismissively.

Granny Huang didn't say anything more, but just smiled at Gan Cai'er, a hint of kindness showing on her aged face.

It's true that this Mrs. Lan is greedy for money, but it's also true that she has a sincere and passionate heart.

Caiyun Pavilion's second order was for Ding Peilan. She was also going to participate in the summer hunt and wanted to have some new clothes made. She originally wanted to find several famous embroidery shops in the capital to make them, but unfortunately she was short of money and didn't have much money, yet she still wanted to make some clothes. After thinking it over, she had no choice but to ask Gan Cai'er for help.

Gan Cai'er readily agreed. She had always wanted to remain as inseparable from Ding Peilan as she had been in her previous life, and then, at the most opportune moment, deliver a fatal blow, causing everything she had sought to vanish into thin air.

Ding Peilan's past life was spent selling herself to gain wealth and status, and she will personally tear it all apart.

The third business deal for Caiyun Pavilion was placed by Zhao Cen. Gan Cai'er was surprised when Zhao Cen came to her door.

The Zhao family has a designated embroidery workshop, which, while not one of the top workshops in the capital, is still quite well-known. Why would she come to my little-known, newly opened workshop?

Zhao Cen remained as imperious as ever, speaking in a condescending manner. Only after she explained her purpose did Gan Cai'er realize that many of the Zhao family's female relatives were attending, and Zhao Cen hadn't received any money for new clothes. So, was he planning to get something for nothing?

However, she claimed that she wanted to help promote Gan Cai'er, and even acted as if she was condescending to do so.

Gan Cai'er thought about it and nodded in agreement.

So, when Yao Xuxu came looking for her a few days later, Gan Cai'er wasn't surprised anymore. It seemed the person who had taken advantage of her in her past life was still the same in this one. Indeed, old habits die hard.

Thinking of the popular styles from her previous life, Gan Cai'er meticulously made clothes for the group. Although these women weren't from top-tier noble families, they were still quite well-known in Kyoto. She wasn't about to pass up this free publicity opportunity.
