Chapter 364: The configuration is a bit strong
Yesterday was the wedding of Su Jing and Shen Qingli, and today is Su Wan’s birthday. From today on, Su Wan is officially eighteen years old, which is an adult in modern times.
It was a lively day yesterday, so today the whole family will stay at home with her and spend her birthday quietly. It’s so hard to finally have the whole family together.
Yesterday, Su Wan told Jiacheng to come again today because it was her birthday, so she was the only one invited.
When Princess Jiacheng heard that she was Su Wan's only one, she was so angry that she insisted to come today and prepare a birthday gift.
Prince Xiang and the Princess strongly support her playing with Princess Xuanle. Now that the Su family is at its peak and Su Wan's status is also noble, it is appropriate for the two of them to play together, isn't it?
It just so happened that Jiacheng's personality was different from that of the ordinary noble ladies in Kyoto, and she had never been able to get along with them. But now, it seemed that she and Princess Xuanle got along very well.
Yesterday, Sun Ling'er had already carefully noticed the unusual behavior of Princess Jiacheng. Whenever she saw Su Chen, she would unconsciously avoid his gaze and her ears would turn red. What did this mean?
After returning from Prince Xiang's Mansion where he attended the princess' birthday banquet, Su Wan gossiped with her about the chance encounter between Su Chen and Jia Cheng. Isn't this a perfect example of a hero saving a beauty, a young general seeing injustice and helping, and a simple princess falling in love at first sight?
When Su Wan heard her description, he also smelled something unusual.
Jiacheng and the third brother sound pretty good, but if their family were to marry into the Grand Secretary's Mansion and the Prince of Xiang's Mansion successively, wouldn't the higher-ups think too much about it?
Add to that, she and Jiang Yu, and the Duke of Jiang's Mansion, and the lineup for rebellion is complete!
"Uh... Second sister-in-law, are you sure our family isn't a bit too strong with this configuration?"
Su Wan now calls her second sister-in-law directly, and it hasn't been a big deal for a few months, okay? It's all a done deal.
Sun Ling'er thought about it carefully and it seemed to be true.
However, it was just her intuition and she was not sure.
Today is Su Wan's birthday, and everyone in the family has prepared gifts. Sun Ling'er personally made a pair of calming medicinal pillows and put many fresh flowers in them. They don't have a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine, but instead have a very comfortable fragrance.
Although it is not a valuable item, Sun Ling'er spent a lot of effort on it.
"This pillow can help you sleep well and reduce nightmares." If you sleep comfortably at night, you will naturally not have nightmares.
The second brother made her a bottle of facial ointment, which was green and looked a bit like a mud mask.
"This is something I developed some time ago. Every night before going to bed, apply it evenly on your face, avoiding your eyes, mouth, and nose. Leave it on for a quarter of an hour, then wash it off. It can make your skin firmer and smoother. If you have acne, it's also very effective. If you don't have acne, you can use it as a beauty ointment on a daily basis. It will only benefit your skin and not harm it."
When Su Wan saw the mud mask, her eyes lit up. The ancients called pimples and blackheads acne. She didn't have these things, but many girls were troubled by them.
Su Wan thought that it would be great if he could invest this into Bingjitang and make it into a product for the market.
The price does not need to be too high, everyone can afford it. It can not only increase Bingjitang's sales, but also help girls with bad skin to find a way to make their faces more beautiful.
However, the Su family still doesn't know that Bingjitang is actually her property.
She thought about it and decided to find a time to talk about it so that everyone would have an idea.
"Thank you, second brother. Do you still have the recipe for this ointment? I want it. After I use it up, I can continue making it."
Su Wan was very cunning and started to trick him.
Upon hearing this, Su Mu and Sun Ling'er smiled in tacit understanding, and Su Mu took out a prescription from his pocket.
"I've prepared it for you a long time ago, take it!"
The girl thought he didn't know that the Jade Face Cream was formulated by Sun Ling'er and is now popular all over the country. Sun Ling'er had heard about it before and went to buy a box. When she got it back and saw that it was her recipe, it was naturally not difficult to guess.
Moreover, don’t the names Bingjitang and Yuyantang have the same meaning?
Su Wan's birthday was coming up soon, so the two of them discussed it and developed a recipe for an ointment to be used on the face.
It went so smoothly and had been prepared long ago. When Su Wan got the prescription, she felt it was a little unreal.
Looking at the expressions of my second brother and his wife, why do they look a little weird?
Next it was the turn of the eldest brother and sister-in-law. Shen Qingli had already made preparations. When she was sewing her own wedding dress, she also sewn one for Su Wan.
When women in the Jin Dynasty got married, especially those from prominent families, they had to embroider their own clothes. Su Wan saw that she didn't know how to do it, so she embroidered it for her.
The two people were of similar height, so Shen Qingli improvised and embroidered a wedding dress for her that was even more delicate than her own, with fine stitches and flowing lines.
Su Jing is now married to Shen Qingli, and they are together now. Since his sister-in-law gave it to him, he didn't make any other preparations.
Su Chen didn't know what to give. He hadn't been home for a few years and had been absent several times, but he had no experience and wanted to show his appreciation.
He remembered that the first birthday gift he gave to Su Wan was a round fan, so after he finished his shift last month, he searched all over Kyoto and finally bought a double-sided embroidered round fan with a jade handle at a high price.
It just so happened that the weather was about to get hot, and every noble lady in Kyoto had a sword in her hand. The female shopkeeper said that the sword he bought was very easy to match with clothes, as long as it was embroidered with her favorite hibiscus flower.
When Su Wan received it, he was really amazed. The white jade felt very cool to the touch, and the jade was of good quality and crystal clear. But the most valuable thing was the double-sided embroidery.
Su Chen was really willing to spend hundreds of taels to buy a round fan for his sister.
Noble ladies bought round fans mainly to match them with their clothes. If they bought such an expensive one, they would only put it on the windowsill to admire it and would not be willing to use it.
To this day, she still keeps the round fan worth five taels of silver that her third brother gave her when she was fourteen years old, and is reluctant to use it.
"Thank you, third brother. I like it very much." Su Wan took the fan in his hand and couldn't let it go.
There are tassels hanging on the fan handle, which is very delicate. I didn’t expect that despite the rough image of the third brother, he has such good aesthetic taste.
Sun Ling'er and Shen Qingli both came over and looked at the fan carefully. It was so exquisite and beautiful. They loved it very much.
So, Su Jing and Su Mu looked at each other, one touched his nose, and the other coughed to cover up his embarrassment.
After Su Chen finished delivering the gifts, Su Yun's eye-catching bag appeared.
"Ahem... you've delivered them all, right? Now it's my turn."
Looking at his attitude, I wonder what he is going to do next.
He clapped his hands, and a moment later, several maids came in carrying a clothes hanger with all kinds of skirts hanging on it.
Red, purple, pink, green, cyan, and light yellow, and the bottom layer is also thoughtfully matched with shoes of the same color.
