This way, others would know that Qing Guang was their cat!
...Gu Yanfei: “…”
Gu Yanfei thought to herself: Forgetit, as long as Big Sister is happy!
In the blink of an eye, Gu Yunzhen had designed several bibs for Qing Guang in her head. She became even more excited and turned to Shopkeeper Cheng’s wife. “Do you have any seasonal designs recently?”
When Shopkeeper Cheng’s wife knew that the business was done, she smiled like a blooming flower and quickly asked the embroiderer to bring over a book of embroidery.
The few of them gathered together and discussed for a full two hours. They chose embroidery, trimmed materials, belts, silk ribbons, and so on.
As soon as they left, they went to Ruyi House and Yu Yan Ji one after another. All of them were holding trays filled with all kinds of exquisite and beautiful gold, jade, and jewelry.
Before the sisters could start choosing, an old woman rushed over and reported, “Second Lady, Miss Wei and Miss Lu have just arrived.”
Gu Yanfei smiled and said, “Bring them here.”
Juan Bi quickly went out to welcome the guests, but the old woman didn’t retreat. Instead, she looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated. She hesitated and reported, “Also, the elder who came this morning with a walking stick, Mr. Zhang, is also here.”
“He’s here to cause trouble again?” Gu Yunzhen’s smile instantly disappeared. She frowned and said in a low voice, “Yanfei, I’ll go take a look. Take care of Jiaoniang and All Qin first.”
With that, Gu Yunzhen was about to get up from the bed when Gu Yanfei quickly grabbed her hand and pulled her back.
“No, no, no.” The old woman explained anxiously, “Mr. Zhang said that he brought his great-grandson to kowtow to thank the Second Lady for saving his life.”
Gu Yunzhen was stunned for a moment. Her expression softened slightly as she thought to herself, “This Mr. Zhang can be considered a person who can distinguish between gratitude and grudges.”
“Yanfei, do you want to meet him?” Gu Yunzhen turned to ask Gu Yanfei.
“No need.” Gu Yanfei shook her head with clear eyes.
Mr. Zhang had the pain of losing his sons. The pain and hatred of sending his son off were engraved in his heart, and it wasn’t something that could be resolved with a few words.
She had done him a favor by saving his great-grandson today, but this didn’t mean that the old hatred between the Gu family and him had disappeared.
Instead of forcing the old man to accept this favor, it was better to let him kowtow and forget about this matter.
Facing Gu Yunzhen, Gu Yanfei said calmly, “I didn’t save his great-grandson to ask for repayment.”
Gu Yunzhen was stunned for a moment before nodding gently and smiling. “You’re right.”
She couldn’t help but raise her arm and pull Gu Yanfei into her arms. Her smile was bright and gentle as she sighed in her heart. My Second Sister really has an exquisite heart.
When Wei Jiaoniang and Lu Qin entered the east room, they saw the sisters leaning against each other intimately. Wei Jiaoniang flew over happily.
“I want a hug too!”
“Me too!”
Wei Jiaoniang, Lu Qin, and the Gu sisters smiled and hugged each other. The girls played intimately for a while.
When the maidservants served tea, Lu Qin straightened up and tidied her hair. She smiled and said, “1 told Jiaoniang just now that 1 saw Ruyi House’s carriage outside, but Jiaoniang didn’t believe me.”
“See, I didn’t say anything wrong, did I?”
Lu Qin raised her hand and pointed at the jewelry in the room. She raised her chest proudly and naturally, in high spirits. “Yanfei, I’ll help you choose jewelry. I have good taste!”
“I have good taste too!”
The two girls volunteered to help Gu Yanfei and Gu Yunzhen pick up the jewelry. They chatted and laughed.
“Yanfei, I’ll help you choose…” Wei Jiaoniang sat beside Gu Yanfei. Seeing that she had picked up a white jade bracelet from a tray, she shook her head and said, “This bracelet doesn’t look good. It’s too simple.”
The jade bracelet in Gu Yanfei’s hand was just an ordinary white jade bracelet. There was nothing special about the design, and the jade quality was average. It was the kind of jade bracelet that could be seen everywhere in the capital.
“I think it’s not bad.” Gu Yanfei slowly played with this ordinary bracelet, her eyes clear and bright.
She wasn’t looking at the jade material of the bracelet, nor was she looking at the shape of the bracelet. Instead, she was looking at the spiritual energy contained in it.
After being reborn for a few months, this was the third jade stone she had seen that contained spiritual energy.
Of course, she was unwilling to let go of such a rare treasure. She put on the jade bracelet and continued to admire it happily.
Wei Jiaoniang and Lu Qin looked at each other tacitly. They felt that Gu Yanfei was good at everything, but she was too lazy to dress up. She just wanted to keep things simple and couldn’t wait to tie her hair with a ribbon.
Forgetit, just leave the jewelry to us!
Wei Jiaoniang and Lu Qin’s eyes lit up, and their enthusiasm soared.
“Yanfei, how about this jade necklace? Look at how bright these red coral beads are!”
“Yanfei, this crimson gold dot with rubies and butterfly beads is also very beautiful. It’s small and exquisite.”

The four girls chatted non-stop. In just an hour, they had spent a lot of money to buy several boxes of jewelry.
After that, Gu Yunzhen instructed Granny Pang to bring the people from Ruyi House out.
Lu Qin excitedly said that she wanted to comb Gu Yanfei’s hair again to match the new jewelry. Her hands were very nimble. She combed Gu Yanfei’s hair into a lily bun and even braided two strands of the chink in one’s armor into the bun.
Wei Jiaoniang propped her chin on her hand and watched Lu Qin comb Gu Yanfei’s hair. From time to time, she would take some pearls from the jewelry box and mutter to herself, “I think something’s missing… Oh, it’s rouge!”
Wei Jiaoniang leaned over and pinched Gu Yanfei’s cheek. Her fingers were smooth and flawless. Clearly, she didn’t put on any rouge or makeup.
“Yunzhen, did you buy rouge?” Wei Jiaoniang turned to ask Gu Yunzhen, “Yanfei is usually too plain. It’s best to put some rouge and makeup on these new pieces of jewelry and dress up beautifully.”
“I also think that Second Sister is dressed too plainly.” Gu Yunzhen nodded in agreement. “I even called someone from Yu Yan Ji today, but she’s not here yet.”
“The rouge from Yu Yan Ji isn’t bad!” Wei Jiaoniang said with a smile. Her teasing gaze glanced at Lu Qin, who was still combing Gu Yanfei’s hair. “A few days ago, Ah Qin went to the shop to pick out some rouge and picked out a few colors…”
Lu Qin’s hand, which was braiding her chink in one’s armor, paused for a moment. She looked a little shy and said slowly, “It’s a camellia red color. This color won’t be too bright, nor will it be too pink.”
“One is a fiery pomegranate red, and the other is orange.”
Every one of them was a rather gorgeous color. It was so gorgeous that it was festive.
A thoughtful glint flashed across Gu Yunzhen’s eyes. She asked with a smile, “Has Ah Qin arranged a marriage?”
Gu Yunzhen was good at reading someone’s body language and was a sharp person. She could tell something was wrong from Lu Qin’s shy expression when she spoke.
Lu Qin’s face was dyed with a rouge-like blush. She composed herself and replied generously, “Yes.”
Wei Jiaoniang looked at Lu Qin, who was blushing, and smiled uncontrollably. Lu Qin rolled her eyes at her, as if to say: Wei Jiaoniang, you’ll get married sooner or later.
Wei Jiaoniang raised her chin proudly and retorted silently.
Lu Qin was a little speechless. She focused on weaving the last chink in one’s armor and patted Gu Yanfei’s shoulder. “Done!”
“Yanfei, take a look and see if you like it!”
Juan Bi hurriedly brought over a mercury mirror. Gu Yanfei wasn’t in a hurry to look at the mirror. Instead, she turned around to look at Lu Qin. She frowned a little and pursed her cherry lips.
Wei Jiaoniang saw it clearly, and her heart skipped a beat. She couldn’t help but think of her grandaunt, Wei Wan.
Since there were no outsiders here, Wei Jiaoniang asked bluntly, “Yanfei, is there anything wrong with All Qin’s marriage?”
