"Just take that red bean paste jacket. I remember I made a new light camel yellow skirt this autumn. Bring it with me as well." Madam Qin instructed the maids to get her clothes while saying to Qin Hexuan, "Stop talking such childish things. Your aunt is going there too tomorrow.
"She sent someone over early to say she hadn't seen you for a long time and asked me to take you out to play."
When Qin Hexuan heard Mrs. Qin mention his aunt, he fell silent.
He thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll choose what to wear and bring myself."
"Okay, okay, okay, all up to you!" Mrs. Qin exchanged a helpless look with her personal maid Yuetao.
Yue Tao immediately smiled and said, "Young Master, I will help you choose clothes."
Seeing her son taking Yuetao to choose clothes, Madam Qin sighed and said to Nanny Jiang beside her, "I really regret leaving Hexuan with my mother. Although he is very good at both academics and martial arts, he has inherited my father's stubbornness to the fullest.
"How old is he? He wears those gray colors every day and behaves in an old-fashioned way."
Upon hearing this, Nanny Jiang smiled and said, "Madam, have you forgotten the clothes that Sister Ye made? The young master looks so handsome in them!"
"I have been in the capital for most of my life, and I have never seen a more handsome young man than our young master!"
When Madam Qin heard what Nanny Jiang said, she also smiled.
"When he was little, I thought he looked good in red, so I prepared a lot of red clothes and blankets for him.
"But when I went back to my parents' house this year, I saw that all the clothes were either black, gray, or dark blue. I couldn't find even a light color.
"Mrs. Ye's craftsmanship is indeed excellent, and that dress is just what I want.
"Alas, I just don't know if Hexuan will be willing to wear it during the New Year.
"Don't be fooled by this kid's gentle appearance. He actually has a stubborn temper!"
Upon hearing this, Nanny Jiang came close to Madam Qin and whispered, "Madam, don't worry. I guarantee that the young master will be able to wear this set of clothes."
The young master wore the walnuts that Qingtian gave him every day, and Nanny Jiang saw it all.
So when they went to Rongxi Village to get the finished clothes back, seeing that Qin Hexuan looked like he didn't even want to try them on, Nanny Jiang pretended to be casual and said, "This piece of material was specially picked by Qingtian!"
Qin Hexuan took the bait and asked, "Did you pick it on a sunny day?"
"That's right!" Nanny Jiang said hurriedly, "Qingtian also said that it would look great on Brother Qin!"
Qin Hexuan then stood up and cooperated to try on the clothes.
However, Madam Qin, who was unaware of this little episode, was very surprised when she heard this. She raised her eyebrows and looked at Madam Jiang and asked, "How can you guarantee this?"
Madam Jiang deliberately kept the secret and said, "Anyway, Madam, just hold it..."
Before she finished her words, Yue Tao walked in quickly.
Madam Qin asked, "Have you chosen Hexuan's clothes? He doesn't like those incense, so there's no need to use them. Just have them ironed and hung by his bed."
Yue Tao said with embarrassment, "Madam, the young master chose the red suit, which is the one you planned to have him wear when he goes to the palace to kowtow during the New Year."
Mrs. Qin thought to herself, I was worried that he wouldn't wear it just now, but now he's so eager to wear it?
Not to mention that the clothes were prepared for kowtow in the palace, they were mainly made for the New Year. They were all thick clothes, and it would be too hot to wear them now.
"Just tell him... Never mind, I'll go." Mrs. Qin had no choice but to get up and go and take a look herself.
Although they would be away for two days at most and only stay outside for one night, the servants in the Qin Mansion still packed several boxes of things to take with them.
Take with you everything you can, including bedding, food, drinks, and other daily necessities, except the house.
The other invited families also made similar preparations. Even though they were not as careful as the Qin family, they basically brought enough things to last for ten days or half a month.
While these distinguished guests were preparing their food, Mr. Jiang was extremely busy.
It is such a big garden, and to entertain so many guests, although it may not be visible on the surface, it actually requires a lot of servants behind the scenes to run it.
However, because the chrysanthemums in the garden were destroyed, Mr. Jiang had to act decisively and replace most of the staff, and the garden fell into chaos.
Although Mr. Jiang agreed to give each person some extra money, it was definitely not as much as earning from working.
Moreover, the nobles from the capital are very generous. Those who can show up in front of them will get some reward money.
If you are lucky, it is possible to earn a few more taels of silver in two days.
So many people were very dissatisfied with this and stood at the back door, making a lot of noise and refusing to leave.
"It's been really busy lately. I've turned down a lot of other errands just to take on this flower viewing banquet. Now you're saying you don't need it anymore? You have to give me an explanation!"
"Exactly. We've been preparing for this for days, and we haven't done anything wrong. Why should we just stop using it?"
"Your words won't work. We want to see Mr. Jiang for no reason. You should at least give us an explanation!"
Most people were making noise, while others were whispering to those around them.
Only Wang Hao and Ding Shuangbao were hiding behind the crowd.
Because everyone was clamoring for an explanation, they were afraid of being suspected, so they didn't dare to leave first.
But because they felt guilty, they didn't dare to join in the noise, for fear of attracting too much attention.
Little did they know that the Jiang family's servants had already set their sights on the two of them.
