Although it was morning, the sky was still dark. Su Fengchen, Miao Zhizhi, Old Master Su, and Old Madam Su were already awake and washed up when everyone arrived.

They immediately began to prepare breakfast and lunch for everyone while Su Binglan went to Miao Zhizhi’s room with her makeup box. Miao Zhizhi had already packed her things when Su Binglan entered.

Soon after, Su Binglan started applying makeup for Miao Zhizhi. Su Binglan’s process was complete, and the  included putting on eyeshadow.

Although her eyeshadow could not compare to modern ones, it still had color, which she got from plants and spices. She found the things she used from the back of the mountain.

She started applying makeup on Miao Zhizhi bit by bit. Afterward, the bride-to-be looked at her reflection in the copper mirror and was stunned. She thought she was looking at someone else.

‘Am I this beautiful?’

Miao Zhizhi blinked. Her eyes were much more noticeable than usual, and her eyelashes were longer. The corners of her eyes sparkled as she stared at the mirror, unable to shift her gaze away. All women enjoyed looking beautiful, after all.

Miao Zhizhi thought she was hallucinating as she looked at her beautiful self. She blinked hard and asked, “Is that me, Binglan?”

“Of course, it’s you, Aunt Zhizhi. Do you like it?”

When Su Binglan asked this question, Miao Zhizhi nodded without hesitation. “I look perfect!”

Her face turned red when she realized what she had said. She felt she should be more reserved because it sounded like she was praising herself. However, the makeup Su Binglan put on for her was indeed remarkable.

Miao Zhizhi did not expect to look so gorgeous, so she smiled happily.

Soon after, she followed traditions and rituals for the rest of the day, and many villagers came to watch.

After breakfast, Su Fengchen came out from the main gate and led the bridal procession around the village. Then he picked up Miao Zhizhi and brought her to the bridal sedan chair.

The young couple went around the village, and the villagers could feel the importance the Su family attached to Miao Zhizhi when they all the gifts in the carriage.

At noon, Su Fengchen and Miao Zhizhi bowed and entertained their guests. Soon after, the guests ate while chatting and laughing.

The atmosphere among the Su family was vivacious, especially when the crowd saw Miao Zhizhi’s dowry.

Everyone was stunned and in awe when they saw the paintings on the walls, the exquisite jewelry box, the dressing table, the screen, and the painted fan. People praised the items non-stop and started asking around about them.

“These things are all so beautiful! I wonder how they made them. Does anyone know where I can buy these things?”

“The embroidery shop makes those things. You can buy them at Su’s Accessories.”

“My daughter is getting married soon, and I want a customized set for her.”

“I want them to make something for my granddaughter, too. These things are simply exquisite.”

Everyone looked at the things around the      place      struggled to find other adjectives to describe them. They could only say how beautiful the things looked and even wanted to buy them for their family members at home.

The guests also started drinking at noon. Once again, everyone was shocked.

“This wine is…”

The guests were too stunned even to react, thinking they were hallucinating. After taking another sip, they knew they had drank high-quality wine.

“This wine is excellent!”

“I’ve never tasted anything like this.”

“It’s fragrant and mellow. This wine must be costly, right?” “I didn’t expect Fengchen to treat us to such exquisite wine.”

“It’s too delicious.”

“Hmm, what wine is this? Why does it taste so sweet?”

The rest of the Su family helped entertain the guests, so someone explained, “That’s the wine Binglan brewed. The wine you’re drinking differs from rice wine.”

“Are the rumors true? Are you guys going to open a winery?”

“Binglan is the one who wants to set up a winery to brew more of this kind of wine. We’ll brew our own, so it’ll be good and not too expensive. Then everyone can afford to buy and drink it.”

Everyone was thrilled when they heard that. Most did not have other hobbies besides drinking.

This wine was delicious and cheap and would be much more convenient for the villagers to buy it soon. Everyone was delighted and had many things to discuss regarding wine.

Of course, many were anxious to buy wine because they knew it was not a suitable time. Still, they would hurry over when the Su family started selling wine.

They simply had to buy wine and store it at home to use it to entertain their guests during the New Year.

The Su family hustled and bustled the entire day.

Su Fengchen returned to his room and finally lifted Miao Zhizhi’s veil. He was stunned when he saw his soon-to-be wife. He even forgot to breathe or react.

Although they lived together, Miao Zhizhi was still nervous. She quietly lifted her head and looked at Su Fengchen. She was inwardly smiling when she saw her soon-to-be husband’s stunned expression.

‘That means Fengchen also thinks I look more beautiful today, right?’

A woman always wanted to look perfect for the person who loved her. Miao

Zhizhi liked her makeup and wanted to show it to Su Fengchen. Since Miao Zhizhi had longer eyelashes and eyeshadow, her lashes fluttered like a butterfly’s wings.

Su Fengchen could feel his heart racing but could not describe his feelings. He was happy, nervous, and excited at the same time. After a long while, he finally found his voice, saying, “You look wonderful, my dear wife.”

His face turned red when he said that.

Miao Zhizhi looked at her husband’s bright red clothes and thought he looked perfect. “You look good, too, my darling.”

Su Fengchen’s heart skipped a beat when he heard Miao Zhizhi’s form of address.

The Su family had an eventful day and finally went home to rest after dinner— everyone except Su Binglan. Instead, she packed the things she had prepared for Baili Jinghua because she knew Baili Jinghua would be leaving the following day.

Baili Jinghua had told Su Binglan she would leave early in the morning during the wedding lunch banquet.

However, Baili Jinghua did not tell anyone else about this. As for the hotpot restaurant, she told Su Wenwu to hire a replacement in advance so that it would not affect them if she did not attend work.

She had already considered everything she needed to settle before leaving.

Su Binglan woke early the following morning and placed everything in Baili Jinghua’s carriage.

After learning that her parents were still alive, Baili Jinghua immediately bought a carriage. It was relatively large, making it convenient for her to carry more things for her travels.

Two days ago, Su Binglan had requested her uncle’s help to make the carriage anti-slip so it would not lose control over icy roads..
