Old Master Su, Old Madam Su, Su Fengchen, and Miao Zhizhi busied themselves. Then Su Fengchen and Miao Zhizhi were stunned when they saw the things Ding Wan had sent over.
Miao Zhizhi felt so touched when she saw the exquisite items that she became teary-eyed. She had seen how well the Su family treated her and did not know how to repay them.
Although she was the daughter of a clan leader, she had never received or even seen such things. She felt warm in her heart and felt so touched that she almost cried.
She only gathered herself when Su Fengchen coaxed her for a while. Therefore, Miao Zhizhi’s eyes shined whenever she saw Su Binglan. Miao Zhizhi choked up, “Thank you very much, Binglan.”
Su Binglan understood how Miao Zhizhi felt and smiled gently. “We’re family now, and you’re my aunt. You don’t have to thank me. Besides, everyone will come and see these things on your wedding day. I only want to promote these things to them.”
Miao Zhizhi knew her new-found niece only said that to comfort her. She knew that anyone who attended the wedding that day would be amazed by the gifts she received. She would also feel dignified.
Although she wasn’t materialistic, she was still delighted and touched to be valued and pampered by others. She did not know what else to say besides thank you.
Miao Zhizhi also knew everyone wanted her and Su Fengchen to be happy together, so she would treat him and his family well. From now on, they would be her family, too.
Su Fengchen echoed, “We must thank you, Binglan.”
He would not have had this life if it were not for his niece. His hands were better, he had a profitable business, and he would marry a woman he loved.
“You’re also being too polite with me, Uncle Fengchen.” “You’re welcome, then,” Su Fengchen said smilingly.
“That’s right. We’re family, so there’s no need to be polite.”
Shen Qiuhua put down her basket and smiled. “Let me know if you need anything else, and I’ll go to town and get it. Don’t let Fengchen and Zhizhi make the trip. They must rest at home for their big day.”
Su Fengchen said, “We won’t tire ourselves out, Second Sister-in-law. You and Second Brother are usually very busy, so we can’t always trouble you.”
“It’s no trouble, especially since it’s a happy occasion. Your second brother and I are willing to join the fun.” Shen Qiuhua and Su Fengchen were all smiles as they spoke.
Indeed, the whole family would be excited these next few days.
After putting down the wedding cake, Su Binglan and Shen Qiuhua chatted briefly before returning home. The weather was frigid after the snow, and the snow on the ground would fly off whenever the north wind blew.
Su Binglan felt her face freeze and rubbed it before looking at her mother. She noticed her mother’s face and ears reddened by the cold, saying, “Is your face freezing, too, Mother?”
“It’s okay. I’ll be fine when we get home.” Shen Qiuhua’s heart was warm, so she barely felt the cold.
Su Binglan did not expect it to snow so early this year. She had heard from her parents that it would only snow after half a month in the past. That was why winter had come earlier this year.
She had yet to complete some of the things she had planned to do. Her heart ached when she looked at her mother’s red face. Suddenly, Su Binglan thought how nice it would be if her mother wore a scarf and a hat.
A light flashed in Su Binglan’s mind. ‘I can ask the embroidery shop to make scarves and shawls. They can use wool to make scarves and hats, too. Then Mother’s face won’t get so cold when she wears those things.’
People could also wear scarves around their necks to keep warm while looking beautiful. Su Binglan quickly went to the embroidery shop and instructed everyone to do this when the idea appeared in her mind.
Making scarves was elementary, much more straightforward than making sweaters and trousers. At this moment, Su Binglan did not know that her scarves and shawls would become a local trend.
Ding Wan instantly knew what to do when Su Binglan told her about it. She quickly urged the employees to make scarves, shawls, and hats.
When the employees finished making those things, Su Binglan first gave them to her parents so they would not freeze whenever they went out. She also prepared hats and scarves for the rest of her family.
She had them made with different colors for the men and women. Everyone would feel warm when they wore their knitted scarves and hats.
Old Madam Su could not put down her scarf and hat as she touched them. “I feel so warm already. I never imagined having such a lovely scarf and hat.”
People of this era also wore hats during winter, but they were cloth hats. Although it did not look as good or feel much warmer, it was much better than wearing nothing. At least the cloth hats could block the wind.
Old Madam Su felt much warmer now that she had a thicker scarf and hat. She said smilingly, “My granddaughter is so capable. Now I won’t freeze when I go out in the snow. It looks light to wear even though it’s thicker.”
Su Fengchen and Miao Zhizhi also received scarves and hats from their niece. The couple’s faces reddened, but they looked happy wearing their new hats and scarves.
Everyone in the Su family was thrilled to receive such gifts. They felt like they had received too many things from Su Binglan.
Su Binglan also got the embroidery shop to start making gloves. After arranging these things, the embroidery shop employees got busy again, so she felt she needed to hire more people.
Time passed quickly, and the day before Su Fengchen and Miao Zhizhi’s wedding soon arrived. The Su family gathered at Old Madam Su and Old Master Su’s house that afternoon. Everyone was busy preparing for the wedding.
Some busied themselves cooking and wrapping dumplings as the Su family had a reunion dinner. It was also a local custom where the family cooked together a day before the wedding
This time, the Su family prepared many dishes to entertain their guests. They made traditional farmer foods like chicken, duck, fish, and other meats.
They did not have dumplings in the past, but now that everyone knew how to make them, they prepared them for their reunion dinner.
Su Binglan had also brought her makeup box, saying, “Aunt Zhizhi, I’ll do your makeup tomorrow morning.”
‘Make-up?’ Miao Zhizhi did not quite understand what her niece meant by that.
“Binglan, are you talking about my face makeup?”
‘I planned to make it simple. I only want to apply some blush, draw my eyebrows, and wear lipstick.’ Miao Zhizhi planned to do it herself.
Su Binglan smirked. “That’s right, your face makeup but with a unique look. You’ll know what I mean when I help you tomorrow. After all, you must be the most beautiful person in the room tomorrow.”
Miao Zhizhi became curious about her niece’s makeup box when she looked at Su Binglan’s mysterious smile.. She asked inquisitively, “Is that box for all your makeup?”
