Shi Zhenyun smiled and said, "Mother has such good taste, I like her very much."
Jue Luo said, "I'm glad you like it. By the way, choose one of the two to wear the day after tomorrow and accompany your mother to Tantuo Temple to offer incense."
Offering incense was a common occurrence for the wives and concubines in the inner quarters. In this era of male supremacy, unless they were busy making a living, women rarely showed their faces in public. They could go to restaurants, but not often.

Shi Zhenyun took the clothes back. She took the matchmaking very seriously, as it was a major life event. Although luck played a part, if she felt the other person was a good person and wanted to take things further, she hoped to leave a good impression.
Bobo was very busy and naturally wouldn't care about Shi Zhenyun's trivial matters, but Xu Nian did! Xu Nian didn't know how he had bribed someone, but he also found out about the news not long after Shi Zhenyun did.
In the evening, after serving Bobo dinner, Xu Nian said, "Master, I have some news to share today."
