Mrs. Song did not feel cold even though it was snowing because she wore thick clothes. Song Yi had earned money and hurriedly bought new cloth and cotton for her.
Mrs. Song made new thicker clothes so that she would not feel cold whenever she went to work in the morning and returned in the evening. She wore her thick clothes, and even her heart felt warm.
It was a product of her son’s filial piety. She was happy to see him working hard to earn a good living.
Being a son was not tiring, and Song Yi was free to care for his parents. Mrs.
Song knew her son would not have had such a job if he had never met Su Wenwu. The Su family arranged this job for Song Yi because they trusted him.
Song Yi was slightly worried about his father and asked, “Father wouldn’t be chopping wood on the mountain now, right? Let’s go home quickly.”
Mrs. Song also felt a little anxious. “Your father hasn’t been able to stay still since his foot recovered. We’ve already told him to rest at home and not go chopping wood again.”
Song Yi was anxious but dared not drive the oxcart too fast, afraid they would slip and flip on the snow. Fortunately, they arrived home before the snow became heavier and the sky darkened.
Soon after reaching home, the snow became heavier. Mr. Song had also just arrived when the mother-son duo got home. He placed another pile of pine trees in the courtyard.
Ads by Pubfuture Mrs. Song looked at the heavy snow outside and sighed, “Luckily, we got off work early and got home in time. If we came home a little later, it would be tough for the ox to walk through the blizzard.”
Mr. Song added, “I didn’t expect it to snow today either. You guys came back early. Usually, I’d have already prepared dinner.”
Song Yi and his mother worked in Su Teng Village, leaving only his father at home. Therefore, the older man would cook at home while the duo went to work.
Mr. Song could not stay idle, so he went to the back of the mountain to chop pine trees during the day. Although the profit from pine wood could not compare to his wife and son’s salaries, he could still earn a little to help out. It was better than being idle at home, after all.
He wanted to move around as much as possible, especially now that his foot had recovered.
Whenever Song Yi had free time from work, he sometimes went home for lunch and brought a portion for his mother. Other times, he would stay home to accompany his father. Still, he spent most of his time helping in Su Teng Village.
The Song family’s lives were fulfilling now because the duo could get paid monthly, so they felt extremely at ease.
Mrs. Song explained, “Madam Ding noticed the weather wasn’t good, so she told everyone to go home early. She said it was what Miss Su wanted. We should stop work early before it rained or snowed heavily. She’ll still pay us as usual.
“I returned with Song Yi, but some employees stayed in the dorms because they live far away.”
Mr. Song sighed. “The Su family is so good to everyone. They let you off work earlier if there are storms or blizzards.
Mrs. Song added, “Someone said we’d have spring and autumn breaks. Then it’ll be more convenient for everyone to go home and plant crops during spring.
It’ll also be convenient for people to harvest their wheat and rice.”
Mr. Song became excited and happy when he heard that. “That’s perfect. Then it won’t delay our farm work, so we can grow crops and food.”
“That’s right. I thought I would work at the embroidery shop with eight days of rest a month. I would rest a day every two to three days if I worked according to the schedule. I can’t help much with the farm work if I’m too busy.”
“I thought I could help with the farm work after delivering goods. We won’t delay anything if I have a few days off. I heard Su Fengmao saying that once,”
Song Yi said smilingly, “It should be true.”
Although Northern Mountain Village was quite far from Su Teng Village, Mrs. Song had grown accustomed to going home every night. Since Mr. Song would typically stay home, Mrs. Song would worry about him.
Still, the journey would not take long as Song Yi and his mother would go to and from Su Teng Village together on the oxcart. Their main concern was going home at night to have dinner and discuss their day together.
Mrs. Song would be delighted whenever she shared her happiness with her family. The family chatted and laughed as they started to prepare dinner.
Song Yi liked eating egg drop soup, but his family’s financial situation was less than fortunate in the past, so they could not bear to make it. Since the family’s conditions had improved, Mr. and Mrs. Song wanted to steam a big bowl of egg drop soup for their son to eat.
They would feed him well and give him the strength to work. They were also more willing to use oil and meat for cooking.
The family could only boil their food in the past. They only made very few dishes, with most of them being soup. However, they could occasionally splurge and put oil in their dishes now. They could even make deep-fried food.
Song Yi watched his mother pour peanut oil into the pot and seemed to have thought of something before saying, “Mother, someone said the rapeseed yield would be very high. @@novelbin@@

“One acre of rapeseed can produce a lot of oil. So, we should plant one acre worth of rapeseeds to gather oil.”
He did not know such things in the past.
Mrs. Song said, “I heard about that while working at the embroidery shop. Every household in Su Teng Village has planted rapeseed to harvest during spring. It also won’t affect their spring crop planting. But we learned about it too late, so we’ll plant rapeseeds next year instead.”
Many people trusted Su Binglan and believed everything she said.
“Yeah, Miss Su will have more rapeseeds in spring. Since the yield will be high, she’ll let us plant them. Still, we must buy rapeseeds from her.”
Mrs. Song said, “The seeds Miss Su sells won’t be expensive. People say the seeds only cost five copper coins per pound. We can plant that one pound on one acre of land.
“Even if someone can’t afford to pay for their seeds, they can wait until others plant theirs before returning a pound to Miss Su.”
Mr. Song was burning firewood when he said gratefully, “Miss Su is such a kind person.”
Everyone often discussed these things when free, whether from the tofu factory or the embroidery shop. Some even thought Su Binglan was a guardian angel who had descended into the mortal world to help them.
Those who worked at the embroidery shop cherished their job very much. The employees worked hard, and no one slacked off. Everyone helped each other, and there were no quarrels because they knew Su Binglan valued one’s character the most.
Even if some had ill thoughts, those thoughts would disappear under the influence of such an excellent atmosphere.
Environments like those could sometimes affect a person. If a group of people were good, the rotten eggs would get infected and turn for the better.
Su Fengzhi also prepared to close his shop early and go home to rest when it started snowing. He was still busy making skewers.
He barely felt the cold after buying the shop and busying himself. Nonetheless, his business had always been perfect. Moreover, he could handle more work since he had hired Madam Liu’s two brothers to help.
Su Fengzhi realized the weather was not good in the afternoon as it looked like it was about to snow. So, he told Madam Liu’s two older brothers to go home early.
There were no weather forecasts in that era, and the farmers who relied on the weather had learned to look at the sky to figure things out based on their experiences.
They could sometimes predict whether it would rain or snow at a glance. Then they would take precautions in advance..

Liu Dashan and Liu Ershan helped Su Fengzhi at his barbecue skewer shop. They worked diligently and were grateful to their brother-in-law. The duo knew Su Fengzhi could have hired someone else, but he hired them to help improve their lives.
The duo did not have much land and could not harvest much food, so they struggled daily. They did not know what they could do to make a better living, but their sister and brother-in-law had hired them to work at the barbecue skewer shop.
Not only could the two brothers now eat their fill on weekends, but they also received monthly salaries. They were content, and everyone envied them for having such a good sister. She was the reason they could live well now.
Su Fengzhi was an excellent cook and had a good life, while Madam Liu often brought her two brothers food, so the villagers envied them for being related to the Su family.
Madam Liu would even bring them a few pounds of rapeseed to plant, and Su Fengzhi gave them a few days off.
Su Fengzhi, Liu Dashan, and Liu Ershan were busy then. The two brothers were puzzled when they heard their brother-in-law saying they would close early that day.
Su Fengzhi said, “Dashan, Ershan, the weather doesn’t look too good. It looks like it’ll snow heavily, so we’ll close and go home to rest early today.”
He remembered it would blizzard when the sky got dark, and the wind blew heavily.
Liu Dashan and Liu Ershan were still in a daze but honest, asking, “Will it snow heavily?”
The two brothers lived in Yangshan Village, quite far from town. It would be challenging for them to return if it snowed heavily, but there was a resting place behind the shop. Still, their families would be worried if they did not go home.
It was better to return early so their families could feel at ease, significantly since the wind grew stronger.
Ads by Pubfuture Su Fengzhi looked toward the door and noticed the people on the streets rushing home. “The weather doesn’t look good, and it should snow heavily tonight.’
Liu Dashan also looked outside, saying, “It didn’t start snowing so early in winter last time.”
Liu Ershan added, “I think it’s a little later than last year.”
Since there was charcoal in the shop for barbecue skewers, Su Fengzhi gave them some and said, “The weather will be freezing if there’s a blizzard. Take these home to keep yourselves warm at night.”
“B-But this charcoal is expensive, Brother-in-law. We can’t take them for free.’
“Yeah, you help us so much every day. How can we take your charcoal?”
The two brothers were sensible and knew how well their sister and brother-in-law had treated them. Therefore, they felt guilty about taking anything else from the couple.
The duo refused, but Su Fengzhi insisted, “You don’t have to be so polite with me, Dashan and Ershan. You know Wenlin and Wenchi are the ones who make the charcoal. You might not care about the cold yourselves, but what about your children?
“You shouldn’t let your children freeze. You can use this charcoal to keep your brick beds warm. No matter how heavy the snow is at night, it won’t feel freezing if you have a warm bed.”
He genuinely wanted to help his two brothers-in-law, mainly for his wife’s sake. After all, they were family, and Madam Liu would not have to worry about her siblings as long as they were well.
Su Fengzhi had always felt he had let his wife and children down when he was decadent in the past few years. At that time, Madam Liu went to her parents to ask her two brothers for help.
Moreover, it would only be good if the siblings helped each other. Since their days had improved, Su Fengzhi would not care about things like charcoal and would be more generous.
After experiencing many terrible things, he understood how essential kinship was. He might not be able to see these things normally, but he could see them at critical moments. His family would not be here, let alone help others, if it were not for his niece.
Su Fengzhi was insistent, so Liu Dashan and Liu Ershan could only accept. They thought of their children first and knew they should not let them freeze.
Whenever there was a blizzard in the past, their children would quickly get a fever. The thought of it was scary, so the two brothers ultimately took the charcoal Su Fengzhi offered.
Then the two brothers thought they should work harder for their brother-in-law. Fortunately, they had helped Su Fengzhi and Madam Liu a few years ago. Now, their brother-in-law ad younger sister remembered their kindness and helped them in return. @@novelbin@@
Meanwhile, Liu Yinyin’s parents also chose to close their duck blood vermicelli shop and go home early. Most had already returned from Teng He Town since it would snow heavily.
The Su family members had not slept and were waiting for Su Wenxiu and Su Wenwu to return. It was not until midnight that the duo returned in the harsh wind and snow. The snow was so heavy that a thick layer had formed on them. “Gosh, it’s so cold! Thank goodness it feels much warmer at home.” Su Wenwu felt a nice wave of warmth after brushing the snow off himself at the door and entered the house. However, his clothes were all wet from the melted snow.
Su Wenxiu blew on his hands and carefully put away his treasured medicine box.
“Wenwu and Wenxiu are finally home.”
The Su family was relieved when they saw the two brothers returning. Only then did their hearts feel at ease.
Su Wenwu said, “I’m back. The snow outside was so heavy, so it wasn’t easy for the carriage to move. Fortunately, you asked Uncle to make anti-slip shoes. The snow doesn’t affect us much now.
“We went to Yangshan village, where the patient is from. They went to visit their relatives today and were going home when the driver lost control of the oxcart by the bridge behind Willow Village and flipped over.
“Six people fell out, but fortunately, the children and most adults were okay, especially with the heavy snow. But one of them broke his leg under the oxcart’s weight.”
Su Fengmao’s expression became severe as he listened to Su Wenwu’s words. “Was it that serious?”
Su Wenwu went into his room to change his clothes. After that, he came back out and answered, “Exactly. When we arrived, the family looked at Second Brother like they had seen their savior. Then Wenxiu mended the person’s leg, and he was fine soon after. That family was very grateful to Wenxiu.”
A faint smile appeared on Su Wenxiu’s face. That was what his medical studies meant, as he hoped to help as many people as possible. He felt it was meaningful to see those people’s eyes change from despair to hope and confidence.
‘I won’t drink anymore.’
Fortunately, he had made his own hangover medicine. He only went out with Su Wenwu after drinking it.
“Wenwu has helped me greatly this time. If it weren’t for his strength from practicing kung fu, we wouldn’t have been able to lift and fix the oxcart.” The duo explained their situation, and everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
“Oh, that family has a daughter who became interested in studying medicine when she saw how amazing Wenxiu’s medical skills were and how he saved them..”

Su Wenxiu added, “That girl seems brilliant and calm, but I already have three apprentices. I don’t have the energy to take in another apprentice now. Besides, people will start gossiping if I take that girl in. It won’t be good for her reputation.”
Shen Qiuhua asked, “Isn’t Binglan also studying medicine? That’s because she was born with it.”
Su Binglan knew the ideology of this era was still somewhat feudal. She also knew she could not change people’s minds, but if someone were willing to study medicine, she would be delighted to teach them.
“Indeed, it’s inconvenient for a man to handle certain things, like pregnancies, but a woman can handle them. That’s why I plan to take in a few female apprentices.”
Everyone was shocked when they heard what Su Binglan said.
“But you’re already so busy, Binglan. Are you sure you can handle it?”
Su Binglan replied, “I have the idea already, and I still have to teach more people. I intend to set up a medical school and teach everyone medicine. Then more female doctors can help more people.
“I’ll need plenty of workforce and resources to set one up, but it’s still possible to take in apprentices and set up a small class of more than ten people first.
That way, those ten people can help teach others when they complete their studies, and I can set up a proper medical school in the future.”
Su Wenxiu’s eyes lit up excitedly when he heard his sister’s words. “That’s an incredible idea, Little Sister!”
‘A medical school, huh?’
When he thought about that, he realized that many more people would study medicine so that more people could afford to see a doctor. It was just like how the people of Yangshan Village had their accident near Willow Village.
Ads by Pubfuture If there were a doctor in Willow Village, they would not have had to travel to Su Teng Village to look for Su Wenxiu or Su Binglan.
Fortunately, only one person broke his leg. It would have been worse if there had been a life-threatening situation, but the person was okay since he received treatment in time.
Su Wenxiu highly supported his sister’s idea, but the rest of the family fell silent. They felt Su Binglan had lofty thoughts and could not grasp those aspects yet.
Still, as members of the Su family, they supported Su Binglan’s idea because she wanted to do good deeds and help more people. After all, it was a matter of saving lives.
Shen Qiuhua felt especially so after going to Stone Village with Su Binglan, where she saved the mother and daughter. Shen Qiuhua also wondered what would happen to that woman’s family if something terrible happened to her. She said, “I support you, Binglan. You’re doing amazing things, so tell me if you need help.”
“I support you too, my daughter!” Su Fengmao echoed after returning to his senses.
Liu Yinyin raised her hand and said, “Me too, Binglan. It was also dangerous for my sister-in-law when she gave birth to my nephews. It was a close call then, so I know how it feels.
‘Binglan also saved my brother from that snake bite. I don’t know what would happen to my family without Binglan’s medical skills. My parents, Sisi, and my nephew would have gone crazy if Chengwen had died.’
Liu Yinyin dared not overthink. Therefore, she felt having more doctors around would be beneficial. Sometimes, saving one person was equivalent to saving an entire family.
Su Binglan looked at everyone’s supportive eyes and felt warm inside. Her family was her strength.
“Since everyone has agreed, we should tidy up the room in the north courtyard and turn it into a medical school. Let’s put in tables and chairs, and then we can start classes.”
The Su family’s house was vast and had several courtyards. The one she mentioned was in the northernmost part of the backyard, close to the house’s back entrance.
Su Binglan planned to separate that area from the house and use it as a medical school.
She explained, “Second Brother, you can help teach alongside your apprentices.
Let’s take in more students with an even mixture of males and females. However, some parents might not like us teaching boys and girls together, so it depends on who’s more open-minded and willing to let their children learn.
“We’ll make it entirely voluntary without tuition fees. I can teach the female students while you teach the male students about planting and harvesting herbs in the backyard.” @@novelbin@@
Su Wenxiu had no objections. “All right, Little Sister. I’ll follow your instructions. We’ll tidy up the place and arrange some tables and chairs before telling everyone about it when the weather improves.”
“Yes.”
It was already very late when the family finished chatting, so they finally went to sleep. Everyone slept soundly on their heated brick beds despite the cold weather, especially when they heard the north wind whistling outside. The howling wind was hypnotic, and snowy nights were best for sleeping.
However, the Su family dared not sleep soundly on snowy nights in the past. Their house was not sturdy back then, and they feared the snow would cause their house to collapse. Therefore, they would wake up whenever they heard the slightest noise.
Nevertheless, things had changed, and the family had a sturdier and more expansive house. They would be okay and sleep peacefully, no matter how heavy the snow was.
The snow stopped the following day, and snow covered the entire village after the blizzard. The village looked like a fairy tale.
Every household opened its doors early in the morning. The villagers took their brooms to sweep the snow from their courtyards to make a path.
Everyone had grown accustomed to such a thing. The villagers would clear a path at their doors to make it more convenient for others to walk whenever the heavy snow stopped.
When Su Binglan woke up, she realized someone had already cleared a path in the courtyard. She even heard children’s laughter. It turned out that Liu Yinyin was building a snowman with Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai.
Since the academy was closed today, the two little ones did not have to attend school. Last night, Su Binglan told Liu Yinyin she did not need to look after the shop. Instead, she told Liu Yinyin to stay home and play with Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai.
Still, Su Wenzhe went to the accessory store after breakfast because many people from the town still wanted to buy school bags and sweaters. They wanted some of the embroidery shop’s items instead of letting the foreign merchants have them all. Therefore, Su Wenzhe had to ensure the store had enough goods.
After washing up and getting dressed, Su Binglan went to the courtyard to help the trio build a snowman. The children felt energized and wanted to play after having a good night’s sleep and a full breakfast.
What seemed childish to adults was fun to them.
Su Binglan stuck a carrot into the snowman’s face, saying, “This is the snowman’s nose.”
“Isn’t that Pinocchio’s nose, Aunt Binglan?”
Su Binglan often told her nephews these stories, so they thought of Pinocchio when she stuffed the carrot into the snowman..

“No, this is a snowman’s nose,” Su Binglan said with a smile. She was always very patient with her two nephews.
After breakfast, Baili Xihong came to play with Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai. Even Baili Jinghua came to talk to Su Binglan.
Su Binglan looked at Baili Jinghua’s expression and felt she had something important to say. She called Baili Jinghua into her room to talk, and Baili Jinghua discussed severe matters with her.
“I might have to leave Su Teng Village with Xihong.”
Su Binglan’s expression changed. “Why is that? Did something happen?”
She thought there was something amiss with Baili Jinghua’s expression. She held her friend’s hand and said, “Tell me if you encounter any problems, and I can help you solve them.”
Su Binglan truly treated Baili Jinghua as a sister. After all, Baili Jinghua was Lan Ruobing’s best friend in the past, so Su Binglan hoped to help her.
Baili Jinghua whispered, “It’s okay, it’s okay. Don’t worry. I feel my parents are not dead yet since I found some clues about them. I want to find them.”
Su Binglan was stunned when she heard that. “R-Really?!”
She was thrilled for Baili Jinghua. “It would be a gift if your parents were still alive.”
Ads by Pubfuture Baili Jinghua smiled. “Yes, that’s why I’m so happy. I know how capable my parents are, so how could they have died? I want to go to the north to look for them. I’ve only told you about this, okay?”
Su Binglan asked, “Is there anything I can do for you?”
Baili Jinghua shook her head. “There’s no need. I’ll take Xihong with me—the fewer people who know about this, the better. Don’t worry about us, alright?
We’ll be okay.”
She tightly held Su Binglan’s hand and added, “I have so much to thank you for, Binglan. I wouldn’t have been able to speak to many business people from other places if I hadn’t helped at the hotpot restaurant.
“I heard some news about my parents through their conversations. Then I realized that my parents might still be alive. The last someone saw them was at the northern border.”
Baili Jinghua’s eyes lit up when she spoke of this. Her heart was full of hope.
She thought her parents had died, and her heart was in great pain, but she felt inexplicably happy now that she had learned that her parents could still be alive.
She would have a home there if her parents were still alive. Baili Jinghua wanted to bring her son along because she knew her parents would be thrilled to meet Baili Xihong.
Su Binglan knew the hotpot restaurant’s business went swimmingly because many foreign merchants would visit Teng He Town to eat hotpot after conducting business. Some even visited just to eat hotpot.
She also knew how popular her hotpot restaurants had become. Although she had two hotpot restaurants now, they would still be packed with customers, and many others would line up outside. Plus, more people would want to eat hotpot because it was winter.
People came from around the world and naturally talked about many things while eating. Baili Jinghua was helping at one of the restaurants and had heard much news about the outside world.
However, she never expected to hear about her parents and became extremely excited. She had also been preparing things in secret over the past few days. She had sought Blue Mountain Academy’s Mr. Kong’s help and finally confirmed a location at the northern border.
Baili Jinghua wanted to go and look around in hopes of finding her parents.
Su Binglan was happy for Baili Jinghua when she heard the news.
Baili Jinghua looked at her expression and knew what she was thinking. “You don’t have to worry about my safety since my martial arts are exceptional.
“You even taught me some close combat techniques, so my skills are much better than before. I’ve also asked someone to forge me a weapon, so I can’t be any safer.”
She had already prepared her things and told her son about her plans, so she brought Baili Xihong to play with his two friends before setting off.
Su Binglan noticed Baili Jinghua’s determination and understood her thoughts.
Su Binglan asked, “Are you leaving soon?”
“I plan to leave after attending your uncle’s wedding.”@@novelbin@@
After some thought, Su Binglan realized three days remained before Baili
Jinghua would leave. “Okay, then I’ll prepare something for you. It’s colder in the north, so I’ll make you some clothes and food.”
She would not dissuade Baili Jinghua. After all, Su Binglan would do the same if the roles got switched. Hence, she supported Baili Jinghua and understood her feelings.

Still, Baili Jinghua could not bear to let Su Binglan help. She knew how valuable the items the embroidery shop made were. She said, “There’s honestly no need, Binglan. Xihong and I already have everything we need.”
Su Binglan said severely, “What you’ve prepared is your own, so I’ll prepare some things for you, too. Don’t worry. I’ll make you something useful.”
Baili Jinghua was touched. “The sweaters you made for us feel nice and warm. Even Xihong loves them, always saying how comfortable they are. We used charcoal for our brick bed last night, and it didn’t even feel cold.”
She was grateful to Su Binglan but did not know how to express her gratitude besides saying, “I can’t thank you enough, Binglan.”
Baili Jinghua knew Su Binglan would prepare useful things for her and her son, but she still felt guilty.
“There’s no need to thank me, Jinghua.”
After talking to Baili Jinghua, Su Binglan went to the embroidery shop. When she arrived, the employees were already there while Ding Wan was packing the items Su Binglan had asked them to make for Miao Zhizhi. Ding Wan would bring those items to Old Madam Su’s house today.
When Ding Wan saw her niece, she thought Su Binglan wanted to follow her to
Old Madam Su’s house. She said, “You’re here early, Binglan.”
“Yes, Aunt Ding. I came to ask you for a favor.”
Ding Wan’s hands paused midair when she heard her niece’s words. She put the items aside and asked, “Is it something urgent?”
Since Ding Wan oversaw the embroidery shop for Su Binglan, she would delegate and instruct the employees to do it.
Su Binglan explained, “Let’s put the other things aside for the next couple of days, Aunt Ding. We’ll first make two sets of down jackets for an adult, two more for a kid, and a set of down duvets. Then we’ll make four sweaters. Two will be for an adult, and the others for a kid.’
She wanted to prepare those things for Baili Jinghua and Baili Xihong. Since the north would be colder, they would not freeze if they had these things.
“Let’s also make snow boots.”
Ding Wan knew how to make down jackets and down duvets but was clueless about snow boots.
“S-Snow boots?”

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ding Wan was puzzled as the people of this era wove their footwear from cattail grass. She had seen the boots people from wealthy families wore but wondered if they felt any warmer than regular ones.
Su Binglan looked at her aunt’s puzzled expression and knew she did not know what kind of boots she was talking about. Fortunately, this era had no level of restrictions on people’s outerwear. Ordinary people could make and wear such things.
After some thought, she said, “Follow me to my office first, Aunt Ding.”
The embroidery shop had no papers or pens because Su Binglan kept them in her office behind the shop instead.
Ding Wan nodded and followed her niece into the office. “Alright.’
Then Su Binglan drew the boots on paper and told her aunt how to make them. Ding Wan looked at the drawing and listened before becoming excited. “You call these Uggs?”
Su Binglan explained, “Yes, the bottom is thick and made from a non-slip material. They won’t slip even on icy roads, and since the bottom is thick, it won’t get wet so quickly.”
“These boots look perfect,” Ding Wan sighed, “You want us to make these as soon as possible, Binglan?”
“Yes, please. Here is the size. Make two pairs this size first, then two more for a kid’s size.” Su Binglan knew Baili Jinghua and Baili Xihong’s measurements as she had already planned to make these boots.
Ads by Pubfuture However, the embroidery shop was swamped, so they could only make these things one at a time. Su Binglan did not expect Baili Jinghua to be in a hurry to find her parents. Thus, Su Binglan could only rush the employees to make them.
“They look excellent, especially since they can keep you warm during winter,” Ding Wan said.
“Yeah, there’s fur inside, that’s why.” Su Binglan then told her aunt how to make the boots with the simplest method.
Ding Wan was highly talented in this area, so she immediately understood her niece’s instructions. “Don’t worry, Binglan. I can teach the workers to make these, and they should be ready in three days.”
Su Binglan felt relieved when she heard her aunt’s words. She returned home soon after and started to marinate the dried pork.
She had stored the dry-aged pork in a jar for a long time as it was easy to preserve. When Baili Jinghua and her son traveled, they could eat it with dry rations to fill their stomachs.
Meanwhile, Ding Wan did not go to Old Madam Su’s house in the morning.
Instead, she arranged for the employees to make Su Binglan’s requested items.
She only brought the wedding gifts to Old Madam Su’s house in the afternoon. “Hello, Father-in-law and Mother-in-law.”
The older couple was delighted to hear that Ding Wan had arrived. However, they did not expect the younger woman to bring so many items with her. Ding Wan had brought large bundles of things into the house from the oxcart.
“Why are there so many things, Ding Wan?”
Su Binglan had been to Old Madam Su’s house yesterday afternoon, so she knew the embroidery shop had been busy preparing some wedding gifts for Miao Zhizhi.
She also knew Ding Wan would bring the gifts over today, but she did not expect there to be so many.
Ding Wan answered smilingly, “Binglan was the one who requested that we make these things, Mother-in-law and Father-in-law.”
After moving and arranging everything onto the brick bed, Ding Wan opened the bags individually. Old Master Su and Old Madam Su were flabbergasted. “E-Everything looks gorgeous!”
Old Madam Su’s hands trembled as she tried to touch the items. Although she wanted to touch them, she dared not proceed, fearing dirtying them. “These are too nice. Are those blankets?”
Ding Wan said smilingly, “These are down duvets. Binglan says they’ll feel exceptionally warmer than ordinary blankets. Those are red sweater sets for my brother-in-law and Zhizhi. This box can hold things like jewelry, and that’s a screen.”
She removed the cloth covering the screen as she spoke. Then she turned it to reveal that both sides were 100% identical.
Old Madam Su was stunned. Her eyes sparkled as she glued her gaze onto the screen, unable to look away. “I-It’s gorgeous!” Then she asked in surprise, “Is that a fragrance I smell?”
Old Master was stunned, too. He had never seen such beautiful things before.
Ding Wan said, “We dipped the thread we used to embroider the screen in some spices so that it smells better. That was all Su Binglan’s idea. She says she’ll personally make the wedding cake, so you already know it’ll taste good.
“We also embroidered those two art pieces based on Binglan’s drawings.
Fengchen and Zhizhi can hang them on the wall.”

Old Madam Su nodded excitedly. “They’re beautiful! No, they’re spectacular! Those two aren’t normal drawings but are embroidered instead. It looks so realistic, too.”
Drawings like those would be worth plenty of money, let alone an embroidered one. Old Madam Su knew these things. She stared at them and could not return to her senses for a long while. “You’re all so thoughtful.”
Ding Wan said smilingly, “Since our family member is getting married, we should do it well. Binglan says she’ll also prepare such gifts when Wenxiu and Wenwu get married.”@@novelbin@@
Old Madam Su felt touched and warm inside. “That child is always so meticulous. I don’t know how she comes up with these ideas.”
‘People used to say how much we pampered Binglan. Since she’s such a kind person, we simply had to.’
Old Madam Su returned to her senses and said, “Fengchen and Zhizhi will return soon. They went to town to buy wedding candies. They’ll be delighted to see these things when they get home.”
Ding Wan said smilingly, “Well, as long as they’re happy.
After sending the items over, she returned to the embroidery shop to get busy.
The older couple asked her to rest and eat, but Ding Wan said, “I’m quite busy now, but we’ll eat together at Fengchen and Zhizhi’s wedding, okay? I still have things to do at the shop, after all.”
Old Madam Su held Ding Wan’s hand affectionately. “You’re busy delivering things again, aren’t you?”
“Listen to what you’re saying, Mother-in-law. I don’t feel busy. I’m quite happy doing these things.” Ding Wan felt a sense of accomplishment. She felt delighted doing what she was most passionate about.
After making the pork jerky, Su Binglan started making the wedding cake. Shen Qiuhua also came home in the afternoon to help her. The duo made the dough together and then carried a few baskets to Old Madam Su’s house.
Many guests would attend the wedding, and Old Madam Su must care for everyone, so the things the duo brought were just right for her to use. They had also arranged to deliver the wedding cake to Miao Zhizhi.
When Su Binglan arrived at her grandparents’ house, Su Fengchen and Miao Zhizhi had already returned from town. The couple had bought many wedding candies and were wrapping them in bags.
Many families in this era would give their guests one or two candies during a wedding. However, this gesture was more expensive, so they could not bear to give out too many at once.
Still, the Su family’s lives had improved, and Su Binglan said the candies would look better if they wrapped them in small packets. Therefore, Su Fengchen wrapped the candies as his niece suggested.
When their guests arrived, the couple would give them a small bag..

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.” @@novelbin@@
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.”
Ads by Pubfuture 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?”

“Yes, it is,” Su Binglan said, “I have plenty of good makeup. You’ll know their effects tomorrow. You’re already beautiful, so you’ll look even more beautiful with makeup.”
Miao Zhizhi looked at Su Binglan, her eyes filled with anticipation. She trusted her niece’s words. After all, women loved to be beautiful, and Miao Zhizhi was no exception. She wanted to look pretty before Su Fengchen.
Su Fengzhang and Su Wenxian brought several jars of wine in the afternoon. The family would drink only some of it at night and use most to entertain the guests tomorrow.
Su Binglan looked at the wine her uncle and cousin brought. She said smilingly, “These are fruit wines for the adults to drink. The alcohol content is not high.”
“Fruit wine?” It was everyone’s first time hearing about fruit wine.
Su Binglan explained, “We made these from fruits instead of rice. Let’s drink some later tonight. Then everyone will know what I’m talking about.”
Old Madam Su smiled. “Everything you make is good, Binglan. If you say it’s good, we believe it is.”
“Indeed. I admire Binglan the most. She was the one who came uD with all the wedding gifts the embroidery shop made. Those things are lovely and practical,” Ding Wan added as she kneaded the dough.
“Stop talking about me, everyone. What are we cooking tonight?” Su Binglan asked.
Ads by Pubfuture Madam Liu answered, “We’re making plenty of delicious food tonight. We’ve prepared dumplings and vegetables to eat. Your third uncle will personally cook these.”
She was helping Su Fengzhi wash the vegetables as she spoke. The family had rules and customs for eating, but they were relatively simple. Since the Su family was doing well, Old Madam Su wanted everyone to have a happy reunion dinner together.
Everyone would eat good food, and dinner was sumptuous. After all, Su Fengzhi had excellent cooking skills. If he made noodles, everyone would think it tasted good. After all, they knew about his culinary skills.
Of course, Su Fengzhi knew his cooking skills could not compare to his niece’s. Fortunately, Su Binglan never hid any knowledge from him. She always gave him suggestions after eating his dishes, and he would constantly improve.
Therefore, Su Fengzhi’s dishes became even more delicious. He had also learned to make spicy dishes, while his braised pork and pork trotters tasted even better.
Meanwhile, Ding Wan, Shen Qiuhua, and Madam Liu made dumplings together. One kneaded the dough, one rolled the skins, and the other made the dumplings. Everyone worked together as they chatted and laughed.
Miao Zhizhi wanted to help, but no one allowed her to do anything. Instead, they let her rest. Ding Wan said, “You can help during the New Year, Zhizhi.”
When that time came, Miao Zhizhi would officially be a member of the Su family, and there would not be so many rules. Then everyone could work together.
While the trio made dumplings, Su Wenwu walked in and asked, “Are you making dumplings?”
Ding Wan looked at him. “Your sister told me you went to look for something.”
Su Wenwu nodded. “She told me to look for bamboo branches to make lanterns tonight, and I found them.”
Su Binglan heard her brother’s reply and said, “Mother, you guys can continue making dumplings. Third Brother and I will make the lanterns.”
She had already brought red paper beforehand and prepared whatever she needed to make lanterns. She wanted to make two giant lanterns and a few smaller ones so that they would look incredibly stunning at night.
She also wanted to make lanterns for the children to join the fun.
Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai ran over happily and squatted beside their aunt, asking about the lanterns curiously. Su Binglan patiently explained what she was doing.
Even Su Wenlin and Lin Tongtong’s son, Su Xuerui, became curious. Lin Tongtong noticed him and carried him over. She had given her son thick clothes so he would not catch a cold while playing in the yard.
Su Binglan looked at Lin Tongtong and said, “You can proceed with your work,
Sister-in-law. I’ll keep an eye on Rui Rui.”
Lin Tongtong said in embarrassment, “Then I’ll have to trouble you, Binglan.”
She was busy doing things now, but when Su Xuerui saw her and kept saying he wanted to go to Su Binglan, Lin Tongtong could only carry him over.
“Aunt Binglan,” Su Xuerui called out to his aunt.
Su Binglan’s heart almost melted when she heard his voice. “Be good, okay? I’ll make beautiful lanterns soon.’
“I can’t wait to see them.” Su Xuerui clapped.

“Xuexuan, you’re the elder one,” Su Binglan said, “Look after the two younger ones, okay? Don’t let them touch these things and hurt themselves.”
She had placed some thin bamboo strips beside them and feared the children would get hurt playing with them.
“Okay, Aunt Binglan.” Su Xuexuan used to admire Luo Jin’an the most, but his uncle had been away recently and could not go to the academy.
However, Su Xuexuan had been by Su Binglan’s side these days. Therefore, the person he admired most now was her. He felt like she was omnipotent and that he could learn a lot by staying by his aunt’s side. @@novelbin@@
Su Binglan’s mood would be exceedingly good whenever she saw the children. She did not know if they could understand what she was doing, but she still explained her process while making the lanterns, “When making lanterns, we must first form the frame.
“When making the frame, it’s easier to make squares and circles. Then we use thin strips to bend them into shape. Afterward, we tie them with a rope to secure them.”
Su Binglan discovered how knowledgeable the humans of this era were. They had unique methods of tying ropes to be solid and would not loosen over time.
Su Wenwu did not know how to make the two lanterns, so he followed his sister’s instructions. Su Binglan would guide him if there were things he could not do well.
Su Wenwu told his sister about the hotpot restaurants while making lanterns. After all, they had been busier these days and barely had time to sit and discuss business properly.
“Wasn’t there a blizzard three days ago, Little Sister? Our hotpot restaurants’ business is booming. Both restaurants stayed open until past midnight that night.”
Su Binglan had already guessed as much. “Most people would want to eat hotpot on a snowy day because it warms them up.”
She looked around the courtyard and noticed the snow had already melted. Only some snow remained in the shades where the sun could not shine.
Old Madam Su looked at the brother and sister making lanterns in the courtyard. She hurriedly said, “Binglan, bring everyone into the inner room. We have several rooms now, so you don’t have to work in the courtyard. It’s warmer inside.”
She came out to carry Su Xuerui as she spoke. Then she touched his hands.
Fortunately, the little boy wore thick clothes and did not look cold.
The house was bigger now that Old Madam Su had expanded it. Su Binglan felt the courtyard was spacious enough for her to move around and had grown accustomed to making the lanterns there. However, it was a little cold as it was already winter.
Moreover, making lanterns while wearing gloves was a bit more challenging. Su Binglan looked at her third brother’s hand and noticed how red it had become..

Su Binglan looked at her lantern-making tools and said, “Can we bring all these branches into the room, Grandma?”
Old Madam Su answered smilingly, “Since we have several rooms now, I told your grandfather to warm up the brick bed in the inner room. The brick bed is big enough for you to make your lanterns on. Just put your things on it.”
She carried Su Xuerui into the house before returning to the courtyard to help her granddaughter gather her things. Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai were sensible enough to help Su Binglan carry her things.
Su Binglan noticed the little ones taking the initiative to help and gave each of them a piece of red Xuan paper, telling them to bring it to the room. The two brothers felt like they were helping as their faces revealed excitement.
Old Madam Su could not stop smiling when she saw the whole family’s happiness.
After moving to the inner room, Su Binglan put the children on the heated brick bed to continue making lanterns. When she and Su Wenwu finished making the lantern frames, they made the lanterns’ bodies.
Su Binglan used red Xuan paper to cut the length and width of the lantern to fit the frame. She used Xuan paper because she wanted to draw simple patterns on them to fit the era.
After some thought, she drew the word “happy” on them. She also drew the young couple growing old together on the rest. Then she added some colors to make them look lovelier.
“Aunt Binglan, these are pretty!” The children exclaimed excitedly.
Afterward, she pasted the paper onto the lantern frames but left an opening for candles or oil lamps. She planned to make a small oil lamp cover inside to make it more stable.
When it got dark at night, she would put the small oil lamp inside and hang the lanterns on both sides of the house entrance. The lanterns would then illuminate red and look incredibly festive.@@novelbin@@
When she finished making the lanterns, everyone who saw them said they looked perfect. They mainly liked the pictures Su Binglan drew on them and felt they looked lifelike.
“The house decorations look so festive and beautiful because of Binglan.”
Ads by Pubfuture Su Binglan had cut out the window grilles, hung up the red curtains she had made, and placed many red cloth toys on a brick platform as decorations. At that moment, the other Su family members came bearing gifts.
Everyone was there to give and receive gifts.
Although Old Madam Su did not intend the wedding to be so high-profile, many villagers, including people from surrounding villages, bought gifts and sent them over.
These people were grateful for the Su family’s kindness and volunteered to attend the wedding. They either worked for Su’s Tofu or received the Su family’s help in the past.
Everyone came one after another, and the courtyard looked lively as there were many gifts. Old Madam Su could not bother with anything else and could only entertain her guests.
Everyone knew the Su family did not intend to be too high-profile and that it was a busy time. Still, they only came to send their gifts and say a few congratulatory words.
Every family in Su Teng Village also shared words of gratitude to the Su family. They were sincerely thankful to the family.
Some offered thanks because the Su family had helped improve their lives, while others showed gratitude because their health had improved with Su Binglan and Su Wenxiu’s medical skills.
All in all, every household in Su Teng Village was developing in a better direction. Everyone’s eyes brimmed with hope, and they would be generous with their gifts.
However, everyone knew Old Madam Su could never accept expensive things, so most people gave eggs as gifts. Old Madam Su then gave everyone sweets, slices of wedding cake, desserts, and red eggs as gifts to show her thanks.
She would not allow the villagers to suffer losses and gave them gifts in return.
Old Madam Su would be more generous now that her family’s lives were good. Nonetheless, she felt touched when the villagers came bearing gifts.
Meanwhile, Su Fengchen also helped entertain the guests and gave them gifts in return. He knew everyone visited because of his family. His heart felt warm when he saw everyone’s graciousness.
Even Liu Yinyin’s parents from Willow Village had come to congratulate the young couple. Old Madam Su looked at Mrs. Liu, saying, “You came all this
Mrs. Liu smiled. “What are you talking about, Old Madam Su? Fengchen is getting married, so we must come and congratulate him. We know you won’t accept anything expensive, so we brought eggs from chickens we raise at home.
“Also, we made these from sweet potato flour to make them easier to put away.
You can reheat them whenever you want to eat them.”
Mr. and Mrs. Liu bought the duck blood they needed for their shop from Old Madam Su because Su Fengchen used many ducks and chickens to make his dishes. Naturally, he had a lot of duck blood.
Initially, Old Madam Su thought of giving the duck blood to them for free since they were relatives. However, Mr. and Mrs. Liu insisted on buying the duck blood, so Old Madam Su sold it to them cheaply.
Mr. and Mrs. Liu understood how well the Su family cared for their daughter Liu Yinyin because she had become a part of their family. Mr. and Mrs. Liu knew they had to show their gratitude no matter what, so they brought many gifts this time.
Old Madam Su returned their favor with knick-knacks and invited them to eat together, but Mr. and Mrs. Liu declined. They did not want to trouble the Su family.
If Old Madam Su invited them in for dinner, the Su family would be too busy as there were too many guests to handle. Even the Taos from Willow Village visited. They had nothing to give, so they made some bacon and sent them over.
The Taos’ lives were much better, whole family was happy. The person they were most grateful to was Su Binglan. Therefore, they had to visit the Su family on this joyous occasion. The Taos also did not want others to think they were ungrateful.
Many more people showed up, and Old Madam Su’s smile froze. Still, she was genuinely happy to see everyone.
In the evening, Chief Su and Su Zhengde arrived with their families. Then everyone happily ate and drank together. Tons of laughter and chatter sounded from the house.
When the women drank the fruit wine, they tasted its sweetness and were stunned.
“This fruit wine is delicious.’
“It is, huh? It turns out that we women can also drink wine.
“It’s delicious, and we won’t get drunk. Binglan said there’s no alcohol content.” “That’s good. Also, these dumplings are delicious. They’re full of meat.”
Everyone drank wine and ate dumplings with vegetables. They were all full of praise as they chatted and laughed while eating and drinking. It was an eventful night, and everyone only returned home when it was late.
They went home and quickly went to bed as they had to wake up early the following day, especially Su Binglan. She had to do Miao Zhizhi’s makeup, after all.
Su Binglan did not feel exhausted the next day because she had slept early the previous night. She got excited when she thought about her youngest uncle getting married.
She thought she had woken up earlier than everyone else, but she did not expect her parents and the others to be awake, too. Everyone had already cleaned up and put on fresh clothes..

Although it was morning, the sky was still dark. Su Fengchen, Miao Zhizhi, Old Master Su, and Old Madam Su were already awake and washed up when everyone arrived.
They immediately began to prepare breakfast and lunch for everyone while Su Binglan went to Miao Zhizhi’s room with her makeup box. Miao Zhizhi had already packed her things when Su Binglan entered.
Soon after, Su Binglan started applying makeup for Miao Zhizhi. Su Binglan’s process was complete, and the included putting on eyeshadow.
Although her eyeshadow could not compare to modern ones, it still had color, which she got from plants and spices. She found the things she used from the back of the mountain.
She started applying makeup on Miao Zhizhi bit by bit. Afterward, the bride-to-be looked at her reflection in the copper mirror and was stunned. She thought she was looking at someone else.
‘Am I this beautiful?’
Miao Zhizhi blinked. Her eyes were much more noticeable than usual, and her eyelashes were longer. The corners of her eyes sparkled as she stared at the mirror, unable to shift her gaze away. All women enjoyed looking beautiful, after all.
Miao Zhizhi thought she was hallucinating as she looked at her beautiful self. She blinked hard and asked, “Is that me, Binglan?”
“Of course, it’s you, Aunt Zhizhi. Do you like it?”
When Su Binglan asked this question, Miao Zhizhi nodded without hesitation. “I look perfect!”
Her face turned red when she realized what she had said. She felt she should be more reserved because it sounded like she was praising herself. However, the makeup Su Binglan put on for her was indeed remarkable.
Ads by Pubfuture Miao Zhizhi did not expect to look so gorgeous, so she smiled happily.
Soon after, she followed traditions and rituals for the rest of the day, and many villagers came to watch.
After breakfast, Su Fengchen came out from the main gate and led the bridal procession around the village. Then he picked up Miao Zhizhi and brought her to the bridal sedan chair.
The young couple went around the village, and the villagers could feel the importance the Su family attached to Miao Zhizhi when they all the gifts in the carriage.
At noon, Su Fengchen and Miao Zhizhi bowed and entertained their guests. Soon after, the guests ate while chatting and laughing.
The atmosphere among the Su family was vivacious, especially when the crowd saw Miao Zhizhi’s dowry.
Everyone was stunned and in awe when they saw the paintings on the walls, the exquisite jewelry box, the dressing table, the screen, and the painted fan. People praised the items non-stop and started asking around about them.
“These things are all so beautiful! I wonder how they made them. Does anyone know where I can buy these things?”
“The embroidery shop makes those things. You can buy them at Su’s Accessories.”
“My daughter is getting married soon, and I want a customized set for her.”
“I want them to make something for my granddaughter, too. These things are simply exquisite.”
Everyone looked at the things around the place struggled to find other adjectives to describe them. They could only say how beautiful the things looked and even wanted to buy them for their family members at home.
The guests also started drinking at noon. Once again, everyone was shocked.
“This wine is…”@@novelbin@@
The guests were too stunned even to react, thinking they were hallucinating. After taking another sip, they knew they had drank high-quality wine.
“This wine is excellent!”
“I’ve never tasted anything like this.”
“It’s fragrant and mellow. This wine must be costly, right?” “I didn’t expect Fengchen to treat us to such exquisite wine.”
“It’s too delicious.”
“Hmm, what wine is this? Why does it taste so sweet?”
The rest of the Su family helped entertain the guests, so someone explained, “That’s the wine Binglan brewed. The wine you’re drinking differs from rice wine.”
“Are the rumors true? Are you guys going to open a winery?”
“Binglan is the one who wants to set up a winery to brew more of this kind of wine. We’ll brew our own, so it’ll be good and not too expensive. Then everyone can afford to buy and drink it.”
Everyone was thrilled when they heard that. Most did not have other hobbies besides drinking.
This wine was delicious and cheap and would be much more convenient for the villagers to buy it soon. Everyone was delighted and had many things to discuss regarding wine.
Of course, many were anxious to buy wine because they knew it was not a suitable time. Still, they would hurry over when the Su family started selling wine.

They simply had to buy wine and store it at home to use it to entertain their guests during the New Year.
The Su family hustled and bustled the entire day.
Su Fengchen returned to his room and finally lifted Miao Zhizhi’s veil. He was stunned when he saw his soon-to-be wife. He even forgot to breathe or react.
Although they lived together, Miao Zhizhi was still nervous. She quietly lifted her head and looked at Su Fengchen. She was inwardly smiling when she saw her soon-to-be husband’s stunned expression.
‘That means Fengchen also thinks I look more beautiful today, right?’
A woman always wanted to look perfect for the person who loved her. Miao
Zhizhi liked her makeup and wanted to show it to Su Fengchen. Since Miao Zhizhi had longer eyelashes and eyeshadow, her lashes fluttered like a butterfly’s wings.
Su Fengchen could feel his heart racing but could not describe his feelings. He was happy, nervous, and excited at the same time. After a long while, he finally found his voice, saying, “You look wonderful, my dear wife.”
His face turned red when he said that.
Miao Zhizhi looked at her husband’s bright red clothes and thought he looked perfect. “You look good, too, my darling.”
Su Fengchen’s heart skipped a beat when he heard Miao Zhizhi’s form of address.
The Su family had an eventful day and finally went home to rest after dinner— everyone except Su Binglan. Instead, she packed the things she had prepared for Baili Jinghua because she knew Baili Jinghua would be leaving the following day.
Baili Jinghua had told Su Binglan she would leave early in the morning during the wedding lunch banquet.
However, Baili Jinghua did not tell anyone else about this. As for the hotpot restaurant, she told Su Wenwu to hire a replacement in advance so that it would not affect them if she did not attend work.
She had already considered everything she needed to settle before leaving.
Su Binglan woke early the following morning and placed everything in Baili Jinghua’s carriage.
After learning that her parents were still alive, Baili Jinghua immediately bought a carriage. It was relatively large, making it convenient for her to carry more things for her travels.

Su Binglan truly treated Baili Jinghua as a sister, so she thought of many details for her.
Baili Jinghua might seem careless, but she was very meticulous in many things. She could feel the things Su Binglan had done for her. She felt so touched that she did not know what else to say besides thank you.
“Binglan, I want to bring my parents here when I find them. Their lives will be easier here.”
Su Binglan nodded. “Yes, but ensure you come home early when you find them.
I’ve prepared some things for you and put them in your carriage. I also made you some compressed biscuits. Although they’re a little stiff, they’re easy to store and fill your stomach.
“These are down jackets, hats, scarves, and snow boots for you and Xihong to keep warm. I also prepared some pork jerky for you to eat with rice. Those are the pickled vegetables I made myself.”
Su Binglan showed Baili Jinghua everything she had prepared, and Baili Jinghua’s eyes reddened as she listened. She even stretched out her arms to hug Su Binglan. She could not bear to part with her.
Su Binglan hugged her back and patted her head, saying, “Xihong, you can return when your mother finds your grandparents. I’ll cook delicious food for you guys then.”
Baili Xihong nodded vigorously. “Yes, Aunt Binglan!”
Although he was still a kid, he traveled alongside his mother for a long time. The mother-son duo had experienced many things, making Baili Xihong much more sensible than his peers.
He understood what Su Binglan truly meant, and his mother had also told him that they would look for his grandparents.
After chatting momentarily, Baili Jinghua left with her son in the carriage. Su Binglan could only sigh and go home when the carriage disappeared from her sight.

She looked up at the sky while images of her husband filled her mind. Since it was a bit cold outside, she went home.
Although it was still early morning, her parents had helped her all day yesterday and were probably exhausted. They did not wake up before dawn like their daughter.
Su Binglan did not feel sleepy and started making breakfast instead. Since her uncle had just married, she would have to start working in the winery. Hence, she decided to hire people to brew wine, bottle it, and sell it.
She knew she had to properly arrange these things, especially since most wedding guests wanted to buy wine. Everyone in the village asked her when she would sell wine two days ago.
Su Binglan planned to set the wine price at fifteen copper coins per jar, the same as rice wine.
Although different grains and brewed wine prices differed, she would not let them get too high. Fruit wine would cost 20 coins per jar, but she had no fruits for now. She had one jar of wine but could only sell it in limited quantities.
Everyone thought they had misheard when they heard about the price. They wondered how such good-quality wine could be so cheap. After all, it was costly whenever they bought alcohol in town.
Many people asked Su Fengzhang and Su Wenxian about it again. After confirming they had not misheard, they became anxious. They feared they would be too late and the father-son duo would run out of wine.
Since it was cheap, everyone wanted to buy a jar as soon as possible. Even if the villagers could not bear to drink it every day, they would save it for special occasions like the New Year.
Everyone worked hard all year to eat and drink well during New Year’s. Moreover, most worked at the tofu factory and embroidery shop. They would hand over their earnings to their families so that they could afford things like wine. @@novelbin@@
Some wines did better in bottles—the more exquisite the bottle, the costlier it would be. After all, special bottles also cost money. Even though that was the case, Su Binglan’s price was still meager in others’ eyes.
No one could buy wine at such a price before and could only afford inferior wines. Everyone who tasted Su Binglan’s wine during the wedding said it was excellent and high-grade.
Those who had never tasted it before would think such a fragrant wine would be delicious. Many people asked around to know when Su Binglan would sell these wines.
Their hearts were full of anticipation.
Su Fengmao returned home at noon. When he saw his daughter, he asked, “When will you start selling wine, dear daughter? Several people have asked me about it because of its deliciousness.
“The guests who went to your grandparents’ house yesterday were full of praise. They love your wine so much that they can’t wait to buy it. I can understand how they feel.
“Now that everyone’s families are better off, they can afford to buy wine at 15 coins per jar. It’s still possible to buy a jar and have a taste.” He was all smiles as he spoke.
Su Fengmao was incredibly proud to have such a capable daughter.
Su Binglan looked at her father’s happy expression and laughed lightly despite herself. “Father, we hired many of our villagers to work at the tofu factory and embroidery shop.
“Almost every family here has someone working for us and can earn wages. That’s why many of our villagers’ lives have improved. Still, other villages are struggling, so fifteen copper coins for a jar of wine is still expensive.”
Su Fengmao frowned. “Those people will feel disappointed if they can’t afford it. Sure enough, fifteen coins is a lot of money for ordinary people.
“Our family’s conditions weren’t good in the past, and I wanted to drink, but I wasn’t willing to do so even though I had the money for it. After all, we needed that money to buy food for ourselves.” He sighed after speaking.
Su Binglan said, “That’s why the people from our village who have better conditions can afford to buy wine. Still, I want to sell my wine outside, so we must bottle and sell it.
“We can hire more people for our winery, mainly because I want to make everyone rich. Then they can afford more things like wine.”
Su Fengmao agreed with his daughter. “Your words make a lot of sense, Binglan. ”
However, Su Binglan knew she could not help more people if she only relied on her current shops and the winery. After all, the land was still the most important thing for farmers.
Still, their land would only be helpful when it could produce crops they could sell for money. Therefore, Su Binglan had to introduce potatoes and sweet potatoes to everyone in the spring of the following year.
‘Everyone has a high yield of wheat and rice they can use to exchange for other things, too.’ Thoughts like these filled Su Binglan’s mind.
She was talking to her father when someone rushed over. It was Tao Eryong, and he was panting from running over. He looked at Su Binglan anxiously and said, “Miss Su, my brother finally burned it!”
Su Fengmao looked at Tao Eryong’s panicked expression and asked anxiously,
“How did he get burned?”
‘Don’t the Taos usually make jars and bottles with their furnace? Is that how his brother got burned?’
