"Miss Su, I've heard you're the owner of a company known for its stunning beauty."

"That's right, I'm the owner of Guose Tianxiang."

When Lady Changning used to make a special detour to Qinghe County to buy clothes, she never expected that one day she would meet her beautiful and charming employer.

Rumor has it that the owner of Guose Tianxiang is an embroiderer with decades of experience, which is why she is able to create so many exquisite and innovative designs.

Who would have thought that the owner was actually a young girl?

The more Lady Changning looked at Su Qianqian's clothes, the more beautiful she found them.

Lady Guiping, who was having a vegetarian meal at the same table, was very surprised: Oh, so her future daughter-in-law is actually a stunningly beautiful woman. No wonder her future daughter-in-law always dresses so beautifully when she goes out.

Previously, Lady Guiping had sent something to Qinghe County, and among the gifts that came back were new clothes.

She wore it to the banquet and immediately became the focus of attention.

I heard that even the concubines in the palace are scrambling to get their hands on the new, stunningly beautiful dress.

My future daughter-in-law is amazing!

Temples are relatively quiet places, and the dining hall is also very quiet.

Therefore, the surprised voice of Lady Changning was quite noticeable.

All the guests who were having their vegetarian meal looked over at Su Qianqian.

Everyone felt incredibly lucky; they came to the temple to offer incense and unexpectedly ran into the stunningly beautiful owner!

The table where Su Qianqian was eating vegetarian food was surrounded by a huge crowd.

Just then, the Guose Tianxiang branch in Beijing was about to open, so she specially made many small cards the size of business cards and gave one to everyone.

"Guose Tianxiang has been in preparation for a long time and will open tomorrow morning on Zhuque Street. Everyone can enjoy a 20% discount with this voucher."

The customers who received the coupons were overjoyed.

"I'll go early tomorrow and make sure I pick out a unique new dress."

"Me too, I need to go early too, I want to pick the lightest style."

After everyone had left, Lady Changning requested, "Miss Su, I would like to buy my daughter a dress so that she can shine brightly at the Flower Festival."

She was anxious because the Flower Festival on the third day of the third lunar month was approaching.

Su Qianqian knew about the Lady of Changning.

My cousin Gu Ying had previously sent a letter to Qinghe County, saying that she had met the Lady of Changning and that the Lady of Changning had taken good care of her.

Given this friendship, it wouldn't hurt to give Lady Changning a special favor.

"Madam, the Guose Tianxiang Beijing branch will open tomorrow morning, but there will be staff at the store tonight. Give me your name and bring your daughter to choose clothes in person."

Lady Changning was overjoyed.

The store doesn't open until tomorrow, but if we let her take her daughter to choose clothes today, wouldn't that allow her to be one step ahead and pick out the prettiest and newest clothes?

Moreover, I've heard that the most high-end styles of the "National Beauty and Heavenly Fragrance" collection are limited to only one piece per color.

So when my daughter chooses her clothes, she definitely won't be wearing the same outfit as anyone else.

"Thank you, Miss Su. My husband works in the Five Cities Military Command. If you ever need anything in the future, please feel free to send a message to our residence."

Lady Changning left in a hurry before she had even finished her vegetarian meal.

Su Qianqian and Lady Guiping had a meal and admired the peach blossoms for a while before descending the mountain.

Even though the scenery at Baima Temple is extremely beautiful in spring, I still have to return to Beijing.

After the carriage entered the capital, it stopped outside Gu's Tea House.

Lady Guiping said apologetically, "Girl, you are a very busy person, and I have wasted a lot of your time today."

"You're too kind, Madam Hou."

Knowing that the Lady of the Marquis liked to eat cream popcorn, Su Qianqian took four bags and put them in the carriage.

"Goodbye, Lady Hou."

Lady Guiping reluctantly lowered the carriage curtain.

I really can't bear to part with her; I wish I could marry her sooner.

When Lady Hou returned to the Hou residence, she immediately gathered all sixty-odd servants together and had several large boxes brought over.

The box contained clothes worn by ordinary people, but they varied in color and style.

Lady Hou issued a new order: "Just like last time, change into different clothes and outfits, and go out to spread a message."

The servants in the mansion had bright eyes.

Is he going out to praise their future young mistress again?

The servants are extremely honored to have such a capable future young mistress.

Now, when they walk down the street, everyone they meet praises Miss Su, which makes the servants feel very proud.

Madam Hou's face beamed with joy. "Today I took my future daughter-in-law to the White Horse Temple. You all know Master Tianyuan there; he's known as a demigod. Master Tianyuan said that my future daughter-in-law's destiny is incredibly noble."

"If Minister Naluo looks down on my future daughter-in-law, I will make him regret it immensely."

The servants of the Marquis of Guiping's mansion all knew Master Tianyuan.

Everyone in the capital knew this highly virtuous monk; his predictions were incredibly accurate.

Since Master Lian Tianyuan said that the future young mistress's destiny is exceptionally noble, it must be true.

This wonderful news must be known to everyone in the capital.

The servants rubbed their hands together, rushed to change their clothes, and set off.

At the Luo residence, Luo Mingfang quickly composed herself.

Fang Cheng is gone; the past is the past, and we should look forward.

She decided to dress herself up nicely and try to become famous at the Flower Festival on the third day of the third lunar month, hoping to find a good marriage partner during the event.

Luo Mingfang carried the tray into the study. On the tray was lotus seed porridge with brown sugar, which was still Luo Shilang's favorite.

She knocked on the door and went in, only to find the study to be very dark.

It was already dark, but only a tiny lamp was lit in the study, casting a dim and indistinct light that made it impossible to see anything clearly.

"Grandfather, it's so dark in here, it'll hurt your eyes." The voice was full of concern.

Luo Mingfang lit an extra lamp in the study and then placed the lotus seed porridge on the desk in front of Vice Minister Luo.

"Grandfather, I personally went to the kitchen to cook it, and I've already added sugar. Please eat it while it's hot."

Minister Luo's eyes were filled with tears; he had just finished crying because of the fifty thousand taels of silver.

He regretted it; if he hadn't given the fifty thousand taels to Fang Cheng, he could have afforded to light a hundred lamps in his study.

But now, the Luo family is spending more than they earn; they can't even afford to buy a good sheet of paper.

Minister Luo smelled the aroma of lotus seed porridge and realized he was hungry.

He picked up a spoon and took a sip of lotus seed porridge, finding it soft, sticky, delicious, and very sweet.

Lotus seeds need to be stewed for at least two hours to achieve this soft and glutinous texture; Mingfang has gone to great lengths.

Although the loss of 50,000 taels of silver was heartbreaking, Minister Luo was also very gratified to see how sensible his granddaughter was.

Sure enough, Mingfang is the most filial.

Luo Mingfang's voice was exceptionally gentle, "Grandfather, the Flower Festival is in a couple of days. Would you like to go out for a walk then?"

When Vice Minister Luo heard about the Flower Festival, he remembered that he should make new clothes for his granddaughter.

In previous years, I would make several new clothes for my granddaughters for the Flower Festival.

But with only two days left until the Flower Festival, it's too late to make something now, so I can only buy ready-made clothes.

Alas, his wife has been ill ever since they returned from Qinghe County, and she hasn't had the energy to prepare new clothes for her granddaughters.

Vice Minister Luo took out a hundred-tael silver note and handed it to Luo Mingfang, saying, "Mingfang, take the money and buy whatever you like."

He was always generous to Luo Mingfang. Today, he received 150 taels of silver from the jade pendant, but kept only 50 taels for himself.

Luo Mingfang was very clever, and quickly declined, saying, "Grandfather, the manor is short of money right now, I cannot accept it."

The more she refused, the more Minister Luo admired his granddaughter's thoughtfulness.

"Take it quickly, girls should be pampered."

Luo Mingfang refused for a long time before happily leaving with the money.

Luo Mingzhen soon received the news from the servants: her third sister, Luo Mingfang, had received one hundred taels of silver from her grandfather to buy new clothes.

Grandfather is so biased; he only gave it to my third sister and not to her.

Luo Mingzhen also went to the study.

"Grandfather, the Flower Festival is coming soon, and I want to buy new clothes too."

Vice Minister Luo sighed helplessly, "I have no money either."

"Grandfather, I know you gave my third sister one hundred taels of silver."

Vice Minister Luo felt that Mingzhen, his granddaughter, was very immature and secretly monitored her own sisters; she was truly cunning.

"Mingzhen, your third sister's father is gone, and she is not a blood relative of our family. Grandfather was afraid that she would be sensitive and melancholic, so he took extra care of her. If you were sensible, you shouldn't hold these things against her."

"Mingzhen, you don't understand. That girl from Qinghe County was dressed exceptionally well and received many rewards from His Majesty. If the Su family hadn't switched the children, those honors should have belonged to Mingfang. Grandfather has failed Mingfang."

Luo Mingzhen is a straightforward person, and she can be quite rude when she gets angry.

"Grandfather, no wonder Miss Su doesn't acknowledge you; it's all your own fault for being so foolish."
