CHAPTER 1946: CHAPTER 1946: WORK PLAN 2

While the mother and daughter were choosing clothes, Chen Xueniang was not at all shy about picking out the clothes she liked: a silk qipao adorned with vibrant floral patterns along with an accompanying undergarment, and a dark blue trench coat with a wide belt that was the highlight.

She might be older, but her figure was quite impeccable.

"Sister Xueniang, you really have an eye for fashion. The trench coat is one thing, but the qipao was hand-sewn by an old tailor in Hong Kong, who actually moved there decades ago from Shanghai. He specializes in qipaos and is always busy with customers. I had to queue for it as soon as I reached Hong Kong and only got it when I was leaving. But storing it in the suitcase caused some creases. Make sure to iron it out when you get it home."

Feng Qingyun said, and then took out two more qipaos from the same box for Feng Qingxue, "Sister, I got some made for you too. Don’t you love Jade Stone? I think Jade Stone and pearls go really well with qipaos."

Feng Qingxue initially seemed delighted but then sighed.

"What’s wrong, sister?" Feng Qingyun looked at the qipaos in her hand. Could they be not pleasing? That couldn’t be, as she had brought only the best ones, with quality fabric and exquisite craftsmanship, which highlighted a woman’s elegant charm.

Feng Qingxue innocently said, "I sighed because I can’t wear them out."

Being a little fashionable was fine, but if the look was too bold, she feared she might stumble.

Chen Xueniang chuckled, "What’s there to sigh about? Just wear them at home for Lu Jiang to see. I’m sure when Lu Jiang comes back, he wouldn’t want you wearing them out at all. Qipaos from the Republic of China period really show off the figure."

Feng Qingxue reached out and gave her a playful slap on the arm, "How could you, as a sister, talk such nonsense in front of the children?"

Chen Xueniang rubbed the spot where she was hit and turned to see Li Jiaoyang had already taken the boys outside, and the ball that was in the box was gone too. They were probably inflating it.

"Xiaoyun, not bad at all! Your partner really has good taste," Chen Xueniang said with a face full of admiration.

"Of course!" Feng Qingyun replied proudly, "What I’m most grateful to the heavens for in my life is not joining the military, not studying music, not going abroad to study, but having such a wonderful sister like you and Brother Jiaoyang."

"Sweet words won’t work on me, we’ll settle this later tonight."

Feng Qingyun playfully stuck out her tongue and quickly asked, "Where am I staying tonight? Do I have my own room?"

"You’re about to get married soon, who would prepare a separate room for you? You’ll sleep with Fubao tonight; her room is the cleanest. Is Jiaoyang staying here or going to his parents’ place?" Li Jiaoyang’s mother, Hu Lan, was originally recuperating in the Capital, but after finding Li Jiaoyang, she didn’t go to General Rong’s side. Instead, General Rong was transferred back to the Capital due to illness, and now the couple resides in a sanatorium.

"He’ll stay here for a night, and we’ll visit Uncle Rong and Aunt Rong together in the morning," Feng Qingyun said.

Feng Qingxue nodded and then pointed at her nose, "It’s fine if you perm your hair, but when you visit them, you mustn’t wear what you’re wearing now. The sanatorium is filled with senior elders; don’t give them a fright."

"Okay, okay, okay, I’ll tie up my hair tomorrow and change into a plain dress," Feng Qingyun said, knowing how to behave appropriately.

"It’s good that you’re aware of your impact. The military isn’t like other places; they have strict management. The way you appeared and acted today, who knows what rumors will start in the compound tomorrow?" Saying this, Feng Qingxue grew slightly serious.
