Xu Mansion was holding a celebration, and Mrs. Gu Sr. insisted on attending.
Since the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the women of the household had not left the premises, so the celebration at Xu Mansion was considered the first outing of the year.
Sister Yue was a playful personality, and after being scolded by Mrs. Gu Sr. on the fifteenth, she dared not make a fuss again. Living quietly for several days, she felt alive once more.
While picking out items to wear to the Xu Mansion in her room, she heard the servants greeting Madam in the courtyard but did not get up.
When Mrs. Kong entered and saw her daughter arranging jewelry boxes on the couch, she shook her head, "Haven't decided yet? You're young; just pick something clean and simple."
"I would like to, but I don't have things like grandmother picks out for me," Sister Yue replied without looking up.
