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

After the scholar's little incident, Gan Cai'er and the others walked out of 'Guanxia Pool'.

As soon as they returned to the main trail, they encountered a large group of hikers, including the little girl they had spoken to at the "Dianjiang Pavilion" before.

"Sister Zhu, Sister Xie, it's great to see you again."

The young girl's surname was Liu. She was the legitimate daughter of Prefect Liu, who was also a military advisor. Her name was Liu Chanying, and she was thirteen years old this year, a time when she was more beautiful than a flower.

"Sister Liu, it seems we are destined to meet."

Gan Cai'er smiled and handed a handful of salted plums to Liu Chanying. Today, she was using the identity of Lan Tingzhou's cousin, and referred to herself as "Miss Xie" in front of everyone.

"These are plums I pickled myself. They're incredibly refreshing and thirst-quenching. Try some."

Liu Chanying took the plum, put it in her mouth and took a small bite, but her eyes kept glancing at Zhu Xiaoxiao.

The young girl loves beauty and can't hide anything from her eyes.

"I'll be fourteen next month, and I've invited a few friends over for a small gathering. I'd like to have some new clothes made. Sister Zhu, are you acquainted with the owner of Jinxiufang? I'd like to order some from their shop."

“Of course, no problem,” Gan Cai’er replied quickly.

"Xiao Xiao is a regular at Jinxiufang. The owner treats her very well; he always saves the latest clothes for her first. It would be best if you let her go and say so!"

“Then it’s settled. Let’s meet at Jinxiufang the day after tomorrow,” Liu Chanying said happily.

Under Gan Cai'er's eager gaze, Zhu Xiaoxiao had no choice but to nod.

Afterwards, Liu Chanying joined them for a hike. Liu Chanying was a native of Danzhou Prefecture and was very familiar with the prefecture and Nanshan Mountain.

Along the way, she not only introduced Gan Cai'er and Zhu Xiaoxiao to the scenery and stories of Nanshan, but also introduced them to the ladies and young women they met along the way.

In less than half a day, Gan Cai'er and Zhu Xiaoxiao had squeezed into half of the aristocratic circle.

Gan Cai'er and Zhu Xiaoxiao were able to be accepted so quickly by the elite social circles of Danzhou, partly thanks to Liu Chanying, and partly thanks to the two dresses they wore.

Women are always powerless against beautiful clothes and accessories.

The dresses made by Gan Cai'er are very different from the traditional clothing that is popular now; she stole the style from ten years later.

Today's clothing emphasizes the exquisite and luxurious fabrics, but ten years from now, in addition to high-end fabrics, the focus will also be on three-dimensional tailoring.

Nowadays, women's clothing is basically all-over from top to bottom, like a large bucket, with only a belt to outline the curves.

But ten years later, when making clothes, the waist would be slightly pinched in to create a flattering silhouette. This would make the dress accentuate a woman's graceful figure, making her movements as delicate as a willow swaying in the breeze.

In particular, the girl's figure is more pronounced.

No wonder Liu Chanying couldn't forget it after just one look.

Whether it looks good or bad is immediately obvious.

Young girls are more open-minded, less bound by old customs and traditions, and bolder. They are more receptive to new things. They dare to try anything for beauty. And coincidentally, most of those who came to Nanshan for this autumn outing were unmarried young ladies.

Gan Cai'er felt she had made a brilliant and skillful move. A smile involuntarily spread across her face, an undisguised joy. She completely forgot about the various little mishaps she had encountered earlier.

As the group walked, they suddenly heard a distant rumbling sound.

"The 'Flying Waterfall' is not far ahead! Let's hurry!" Liu Chanying suddenly became excited and pointed ahead, shouting happily.

Her cheer caused a great stir. The already exhausted crowd was invigorated by her shout, and they all perked up and quickened their pace toward the source of the sound.

The Flying Waterfall is a spectacular sight on Nanshan Mountain. Visitors to Nanshan must see the Flying Waterfall; otherwise, they cannot say they have truly climbed Nanshan.

As the roar grew louder, a magnificent sight unfolded before everyone's eyes.

The mountains and fields are ablaze with red maple leaves, a vibrant and fiery red, layer upon layer, like a cloud of rosy clouds. Amidst this magnificent crimson, a waterfall cascades down from a thousand-foot cliff, like a silver river pouring down, a white ribbon suspended in the air.

The waterfall crashes against the giant rocks with a thunderous roar, like the fury of thunder or the stampede of ten thousand horses, echoing and deafeningly through the mountains and forests.

The spray from the waterfall is like smoke and mist, thin as gauze. Sunlight shines on it, and magnificent rainbows emerge, spanning the mist, like a dream.

"Miss, this, this, this is so beautiful!!!" Xiao Hong tightly gripped Gan Cai'er's hand, so excited that she couldn't speak coherently.

Gan Cai'er was also deeply shocked. In both her past and present lives, this was the first time she had ever seen such a magnificent sight.

No wonder Nanshan, though not high, is hailed as a famous mountain. This 'Flying Waterfall' is indeed a wonder.

"Sister Xie, look, the large group of people has arrived over there. Let's go over there too."

Gan Cai'er and the others then noticed that a large number of people had already gathered on the viewing platform of the waterfall.

The viewing platform was originally a huge rock facing the waterfall. The monks of Nanshan Temple asked craftsmen to carve the rock into a spacious platform, about two or three acres in size.

Later, a fence was built around the platform, along with several pavilions, warm rooms, corridors, and numerous stone tables and chairs for tourists to rest while enjoying the scenery.

Madam Qian decided to use this place as the venue for her autumn outing. A day in advance, she sent people up the mountain to make arrangements.

The platform was surrounded by a bamboo fence filled with wild chrysanthemums, dividing the viewing platform into two sections for men and women. The pavilion was also covered with gauze curtains for the women to sit and rest.

Although the Dayong Dynasty emphasized the strict separation of men and women, the purpose of this autumn outing was for unmarried men and women from aristocratic families to meet and get to know each other. Therefore, the separation between male guests and female relatives was done very perfunctorily.

It's the same as not doing anything.

It seemed as if they were separated, yet it also seemed as if they weren't separated at all. The blooming wild chrysanthemums, the swaying gauze curtains, the shadows of hair and the fragrance of clothes, all appeared indistinctly, further fueling the imagination.

When Gan Cai'er and her group entered the pavilion on the viewing platform, there were already quite a few women inside.

Some sat around the stone table, eating fruits and snacks; others sat by the railing, gazing at the distant waterfall and pointing at the male guests over there.

Among them, several people met Gan Cai'er and her group during the mountain climb and greeted each other.

The men on the viewing platform were gathered around the waterfall railing, mostly sitting on the ground, surrounded by wine vessels and writing implements.

Some were drinking and laughing, while others were writing calligraphy and composing poems, each enjoying themselves to the fullest.

"Sister Yin, what are they doing making such a fuss?" Liu Chanying asked curiously.

"Many people from the three major academies came today; I heard they're having a poetry and painting competition," Yin Zhen replied with a smile, as she was familiar with Liu Chanying.

"Really? Who's here?" Liu Chanying lifted the veil and craned her neck to look into the distance.

"Look, the one standing by the railing in white is Wang Xishi. He is the top student at Luming Academy and is known as a genius."

"The one on his left in the blue round-necked robe is Qiu Fang, his cousin, who studies at Qinchuan Academy, and is..."

Yin Zhen held up her round fan and pointed at the people, listing them one by one for Liu Chanying. Gan Cai'er followed beside her, listening with great interest.

At this moment, a woman walked up to Gan Cai'er, handed her an orange, and smiled kindly: "Miss Xie, the oranges are fresh and sweet today, please try some."

"Thank you girl."

Gan Cai'er smiled and took the orange. She sized up the woman in front of her, quickly searching her memory. But after searching for a while, she realized she didn't seem to recognize her.

"Miss Xie, I've heard you're Young Master Lan's cousin?"

Gan Cai'er instantly understood; it turned out they were after the Lanting Boat.

"um, yes."

"Have you ever met Young Master Lan's wife?" the other person asked softly.

Huh? They're actually after her? That's strange.

“That’s my cousin-in-law, of course I’ve met her.”

Gan Cai'er's voice was quite loud, and several women immediately turned to look at her.

"Is she really yellow-haired, dark-faced, and as strong as a bear?"

"Oh dear, I've also heard that she's incredibly strong, capable of killing a bull with a single blow of her bare hands. Miss Xie, is that really true?"

With a "pfft," Zhu Xiaoxiao spat out a mouthful of tea. Huan'er hurriedly grabbed a handkerchief to clean it up for her, suppressing a laugh.

Gan Cai'er glanced at her small hands, which were delicate, smooth, and boneless.

Could that kill a bull with a single palm strike?

She took a deep breath and said, "You're talking about a black bear monster, right? My cousin-in-law doesn't look like that."

"By the way, I heard she also particularly enjoys tormenting Young Master Lan. If Young Master Lan even glances at another woman, she won't let him sleep."

“No…” Gan Cai’er tried to refute.

"Won't Young Master Nalan be unable to sleep again this time?"

"Therefore, Young Master Lan always lives in the academy."

"Alas, Young Master Lan, you are so pitiful."

The women chattered away, making quite a scene. Gan Cai'er couldn't get a word in edgewise; no one paid any attention to her rebuttals.

Gan Cai'er sincerely felt that she was the one who was pitiful.

Zhu Xiaoxiao covered her mouth, laughing so hard she couldn't straighten up.

A few months ago, she was just a shrew, but now she's become a monster?

If she finds out who's spreading rumors behind her back and daring to slander her like this, she'll beat them to a pulp!
