Princess Chu smiled faintly and said, "Jingyu, your future cousin Jing's family also runs an embroidery workshop. Your cousin Jing's craftsmanship is also top-notch. I saw it several times when I was in Jiangnan a few years ago. Her craftsmanship is comparable to your sister-in-law's."
Zhao Jing looked at the clothes in Princess Ningxiang's hands, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he fell into deep thought...
Both were from Fangqiao, Yongxing City, both owned embroidery workshops, and both followed their husbands back to Chang'an from Fangqiao Town...
How could such a coincidence happen?
Gu Jingyu smiled and said, "Does my cousin's family also run an embroidery workshop? Then when my cousin Jing joins, she can discuss embroidery with my sister-in-law."
Princess Chu chuckled and said, "It's been spreading around these days. Yan'er said at Old Madam Fu's birthday banquet that your sister-in-law is even more beautiful than the second daughter of the Fu family. It's a pity that I didn't have the chance to see the beauty of Yan'er's wife."
Gu Jingyu smiled and said, "In my brother's eyes, no woman in this world can compare to my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law will come to the palace to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year. Then my second aunt will be able to see my sister-in-law."
Zhao Jing thought that he was worrying too much. There was no such coincidence in the world.
Besides, Gu Yan did say that his wife was more beautiful than Fu Anran.
Although Yun Xiangye is beautiful, she is far inferior to Fu Anran's stunningly beautiful face.
It couldn't possibly be the same person. He must be worrying too much.
--
On the eve of New Year's Eve, there was another heavy snowfall in Chang'an City, and the whole city was covered in silver.
It can be said that auspicious snow indicates a good harvest.
On New Year’s Eve, in the study of Qingfeng Garden.
Gu Yan picked up his pen and wrote Spring Festival couplets.
Xiao Nuonuo stood on tiptoe to write with Gu Yan.
Yun Xiangye picked up Xiao Nuonuo, held her hand and wrote a word "Fu" with her.
After writing the word "Fu", Yun Xiangye and Gu Yan went to the gate of the courtyard to watch the maids put up the couplets.
The windows in Qingfeng Garden were also pasted with paper-cuts made by the maids a few days ago, full of the festive atmosphere of the New Year.
Gu Yan glanced at Yun Xiangye and said, "This is already the third year we've been together."
Yun Xiangye gently pulled down the small hat on Nuonuo's head and said, "Nuonuo will soon be turning two."
Gu Yan looked at Nuonuo in his arms and said, "We didn't have a big birthday party for Nuonuo back in Jiangnan, so we have to have a big one for her second birthday."
Yun Xiangye glanced at Gu Yan and said, "Nuonuo's birthday is the seventh day of the first lunar month. It's only a few days away. Is it still too late to hold a big birthday party?"
Gu Yan smiled and said, "Seven days is enough to prepare a birthday banquet."
Yun Xiangye sighed slightly and said, "I don't even know how to organize this banquet in Chang'an..."
Gu Yan said, "You don't need to worry about organizing the banquet. Just let Jingyu take care of Nuonuo's birthday party. She has already been in charge of all the banquets at home. You can just be a hands-off manager."
Yun Xiangye frowned and looked at Gu Yan: "I'm just a hands-off manager of my daughter's birthday banquet?"
Gu Yan said, "Isn't it because they're worried that since you've just arrived in Chang'an and don't know how to organize a banquet at the Princess's Mansion, you might end up being laughed at by the guests?"
Yun Xiangye snorted, "Since you knew I would be ignorant and laughed at by the guests, why did you only tell me your identity on the day you came to Chang'an? If you had told me earlier..."
Yun Xiangye was halfway through her speech when she sighed, "Forget it. I don't want to argue with you on New Year's Eve."
Gu Yan knew he was in the wrong and said, "I was inconsiderate. You should be the one to host Nuonuo's birthday party this time, and let Jingyu help you."
Yun Xiangye said, "I haven't even figured out how many relatives you have, how can I organize a birthday banquet? I can only trouble Jingyu to organize Nuonuo's birthday banquet."
After Yun Xiangye finished speaking, she went to look for Gu Jingyu.
Gu Jingyu was preparing the New Year's Eve dinner in Helan Hall.
Gu Jingyu smiled softly when she saw Yun Xiangye coming over, "Sister-in-law."
Yun Xiangye watched Gu Jingyu giving orders to the maids from time to time, and said, "If you are busy, I won't disturb you."
Gu Jingyu said, "I'm not busy. I'm just preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner. What can I do for you?"
Yun Xiangye smiled faintly and said, "Nuonuo's birthday is in seven days. Nuonuo's first birthday has never been a big one, so Gu Yan and I both want to give her a good second birthday. I'm new in Chang'an, so I don't know how you're going to arrange the banquet there, nor do I know how many relatives you have, so I'll have to trouble you."
Gu Jingyu smiled faintly and said, "How can hosting a birthday party for Nuonuo be considered a bother? There are still seven days left. I will definitely host a grand birthday party for Nuonuo."
"But sister-in-law, you've been in Chang'an for quite some time. How come you don't know how many relatives you have? Didn't my brother tell you about your family?"
Yun Xiangye said to Gu Jingyu, "Your brother only told me he was the princess's son when we arrived in Chang'an. He never even told me he had a sister like you, so how could he tell me about his other relatives?"
Gu Jingyu sighed, "My brother doesn't care at all... cough cough."
Gu Jingyu kept her subsequent words to herself and only said to Yun Xiangye, "Sister-in-law, I will write you a family tree of my relatives later, as well as the complex relationships between some of the noble families in Chang'an City. Tomorrow, when you go out to pay New Year's greetings or when others come to pay New Year's greetings, you will have a clear idea of what to do and avoid being impolite."
Yun Xiangye looked at Gu Jingyu gratefully and said, "Thank you, sister."
Yun Xiangye just felt that Gu Jingyu was a thousand times better than her brother.
In the afternoon, Yun Xiangye and Gu Jingyu helped prepare the New Year's Eve dinner.
When it got dark, Yun Xiangye and Gu Jingyu went to Fushou Hall to invite their grandmother, Mrs. Gu, to come for dinner.
