"Second brother, you go and say it," Nan Wufeng urged Nan Wuyu, looking at Nan Wusi sitting in the pavilion.
"..."
“Brother, I’ve always been the one to make the proposals in previous years. Shouldn’t it be your turn to do it this year?” Nan Wuyu retorted calmly.
"This... I don't know how to say it." Nan Wufeng scratched his head.
"Just say it," Nan Wuyu said, shrugging.
"Ah, I wouldn't dare." Nan Wufeng shook his head vigorously. He still clearly remembered that once when he went to talk about this matter, his third sister gave him a big eye roll and retorted that it was none of her business.
"It shouldn't happen this year," Nan Wuyu said confidently.
"You're not lying to me?" Nan Wufeng was still shaken.
"Don't worry, I would never lie to you."
Meanwhile, Nan Wusi, who was in the pavilion, had already noticed the two suspicious people. Curious about what they were doing, she watched them walk towards her and wondered if something had happened that was related to her.
"Third Sister," the two greeted.
"Big brother, second brother. What's wrong? I've seen you two whispering for ages."
“That’s how it is,” Nan Wufeng said.
Nan Wusi, who was waiting for his brother to continue, was filled with doubt when he noticed that his brother had stopped speaking.
"And then?" was the only question she could ask.
"Do you remember when your mother's birthday is?" Nan Wufeng asked directly, steeling his heart.
"Oh no, oh no, oh no! How would I know when my mother's birthday is? The original text didn't mention it." Nan Wusi's heart tightened.
The two brothers standing to the side couldn't help but feel nervous when they saw Nan Wusi's face suddenly darken. Their third sister's relationship with their mother had always been very tense. She had never given their mother a kind look on her birthdays. The two were not like mother and daughter at all, but more like enemies, which gave the men in the family a lot of headaches.
"My mother's birthday is on the fifteenth of next month." Nan Wufeng didn't know why he was so nervous.
"So fast? Have you chosen your gifts, eldest brother and second brother?" Nan Wusi exclaimed in surprise.
"Huh." The two were overjoyed to find that their little sister wasn't angry at all. Sure enough, the relationship between the mother and daughter had improved a lot recently.
“We are still making our selection, little sister, you can also think about it carefully,” Nan Wuyu said at the opportune moment.
"Okay, I'll think about it carefully recently. Thank you for the reminder, eldest and second brothers." Nan Wusi smiled and thanked them politely.
After completing their mission, the two brothers relaxed and chatted with Nan Wusi in the pavilion for a while before parting ways. Nan Wusi, meanwhile, was deep in thought.
"Ye Zi, what gifts have I given my mother for her birthday in the past?" Nan Wusi thought for a while and decided to ask Ye Zi first.
"Miss." Ye Zi looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Is there anything wrong with saying this?"
“It’s like this, Miss. You’ve never given Madam any gifts for her birthdays before, and you haven’t even shown up at the banquets on several occasions,” Ye Zi explained.
“This…” Nan Wusi finally understood why her two older brothers looked troubled when they came to tell her this news. It turned out that the original owner of this body had such a bad relationship with her mother.
"I still need to think about this carefully this year." Nanwu thought for a while, then asked, "What are Mother's hobbies?"
"This servant does not know." Ye Zi lowered her head.
“Host,” Xiao Ba, who was usually quiet, suddenly said, “You can take the dark green dress you bought in the mall last time as a birthday gift.”
"That's right! How come I didn't think of that?" Nan Wusi slapped his thigh, instantly becoming excited. "That dress is so elegant and luxurious, Mother would definitely look stunning in it."
“Sure, Xiao Ba,” Nan Wusi joked.
"Hmph." Xiao Ba gave a haughty snort, not wanting to pay attention to its ignorant host.
"But I gave this outfit to my mother. What will I do when the shop opens next month?" Nan Wusi originally planned to sell this outfit as the grand finale, thinking it would definitely amaze many discerning ladies and noblewomen.
“No problem. Although limited-time and limited-quantity items are updated irregularly, they are usually refreshed once every one to two months,” Xiao Ba said. “Besides, your mother’s birthday banquet is just around the corner, so wearing this outfit is like giving you a head start in advertising.”
Upon hearing this, Nan Wusi felt that Xiao Ba's words made a lot of sense. If all else failed, she could choose the most gorgeous ordinary clothes in the mall to sell, but the effect would not be as amazing.
"Xiao Ba, you're really great." Nan Wusi gave a thumbs up.
"Hmph." Little Eight disappeared again, looking arrogant.
Nan Wusi was very happy that the matter was resolved so quickly. However, she had been thinking about something else the most lately: she still needed to find time to look for the little fat boy.
Just as Nan Wusi was about to return to his room, he heard the little fat boy's voice. Speak of the devil, and he appears.
"Sis, I've come to see you!" The chubby boy's hearty shout carried far, while he himself was still slowly moving in the distance.
Nan Wusi stood quietly and waited for him. Once the chubby boy approached, he teased, "Little chubby boy, you've been getting rounder and rounder lately. If you don't tone it down, you'll become a big fat boy."
"Hehe, this is all thanks to my older sister," Nan Wushi chuckled, a lewd look on his face. It seems he's also reaped considerable benefits from his recent business deal with Prince Yi regarding the small garments.
"Speak, what brings you here today?" Nan Wusi didn't believe that the chubby boy had come specifically to see her.
"Hehe, you can't hide it from your sister." Nan Wushi said directly, "His Highness Prince Yi asked me to come and ask you for more blueprints, and the designs need to be more novel."
"Hmph, these people in the aristocratic circle really know how to have fun. They're already not satisfied and want new styles so soon." Nan Wusi said with some disdain.
"Oh, sis, you know these spoiled brats are always like this. If they didn't act like this, where would we get the money?" The chubby boy didn't care at all, and even hoped that these nobles would go even crazier.
"Okay, I understand." Nan Wusi wanted to talk to Prince Yi about something, so he asked where he could usually find Nan Wushi.
“In the past, Prince Yi would send people to pick up the blueprints from me, but the places he usually went to were probably either Xiangyun Pavilion or Nishang Pavilion.” Nan Wushi was not sure either.
"Do you think I still dare to go to Xiangyun Pavilion?" Nan Wusi rolled his eyes at the chubby boy.
"Hehe, when are you going to the Rainbow Pavilion? I'll go with you. Or I can ask when Prince Yi sends someone to pick up the blueprints next time." Nan Wushi had also heard about what happened to his cousins last time.
"Either is fine." Nan Wusi thought for a moment and then said, "How about we try the Rainbow Pavilion tomorrow?"
“Okay, I’ll be waiting for you tomorrow.” Nan Wushi nodded.
"Then it's settled. As for the blueprints, I'll give them to you tomorrow as well." Nan Wusi decided to take a good look at them tonight.
Namo Shih left satisfied after receiving the reply.
