The silver man silently turned the jade plate.

August 15th, Mid-Autumn Festival.

Jin Lan got up early in the morning and changed into a white peach-red plaid with many flowers. He wore a dress with gold thread embroidered on it made from shallow lotus powder. It was a new autumn dress, and he was rushing it so quickly that he was able to reach the front of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Mama Tang was combing her hair, her fingertip passing through the soft and black hair. She instantly and skillfully separated a few strands of hair, ”Young lady, you can't be too modest today. How about we just make a hanging bun?”

Today was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and in a little while, there would be a feast. It was naturally not as casual as usual. Jin Lan thought for a moment, then nodded his head in agreement.

Bi He held her hands at the side and opened a drawer at the bottom of the mirror. Inside, there was a golden velvet cloth and on top of it, there was a set of jewelry that was embedded with pure gold jade. From the steps to the hairpins to the earrings, it was all there, and its style was extremely good.

This was something the Old Madame Ye had brought back from the capital. Each of the three ladies of Ye Family had one set, but it was Jin Lan's ”Butterfly Love Flower” set that was the most exquisite.

Jin Lan was wearing a flowery dress today, and with this set of jewelry, it would be the most suitable. However, she shook her head at Bi He, ”Change it to a different set.

The old lady did not like people who liked to be pampered the most. She had angered the old lady a few days ago, so it was better for her to keep a low profile today. Besides, she was pretending to be sick, so where did she get to dress up so brilliantly to make the old lady suspicious again?

Hearing this, Bi He said hesitantly, ”But I believe the First Miss and the three young misses will probably...”

”I know.” Jin Lan waved her hand to interrupt Bi He, and said with a light voice, ”Just do as I say.”

Seeing that, Bi He could only let it go, and gently closed the drawer, opening the box he usually used.

In the end, Jin Lan chose a silk gold hairpin encrusted with goose-fat jade and gems. She wore only a carved Shuangfu and Tian Baiyu bracelet, which, although not a set of jewelry, caught her eye.

Her face was fair, her lips were like a cherry blossom, her eyebrows were like ink, and her eyes were like autumn water. Although her face was still sickly pale and lacking a trace of brilliance, there was an extra touch of gentleness in the morning light.

”Miss, you've grown up.” Mama Tang looked at Jin Lan who was reflected in the water luster mirror and praised: ”She will definitely be an extremely beautiful person in the future.”

Jin Lan's cheeks flushed red, she glanced at Mama Tang unhappily: ”Mama, if I were to ask an outsider to learn it, how would I be embarrassed?”

Mama Tang smiled as she looked at Jin Lan's embarrassed face, ”With just me and Bi He, who would be so talkative?” As she spoke, she looked at Bi He wrongly and said meaningfully, ”Do you think so, Bi He?”

Bi He's hands paused for a moment to clear up the dowry before she smiled and said, ”Of course.” Then she lowered her head and placed the ivory comb and the comb, one by one, back into place.

The light in Jin Lan's eyes flickered, and he did not say anything more. He looked at the color of the sky, then stood up and walked towards the Shuixie Pavilion.

Originally, Meng Mansion sent out a card inviting Madame SHen and Jin Lan to a banquet, but Jin Lan's body was not well, and Madame SHen was also busy to the point of being disoriented, hence he tactfully declined.

When Jin Lan arrived at the Shuixie Pavilion, the Madame SHen had just finished packing up, and the mother and daughter pair went to pay their respects to the old lady.

When Madame SHen brought Jin Lan to the Jiayu Hall, there were already sounds coming from inside. Pin Yue respectfully lifted the curtain and upon entering the room, she saw Ye Jinwei, who was wearing a red peonish peonies with a lined jacket, nudging the old lady. She spoke softly, and no one knew what she was talking about, causing the old lady's face to be filled with smiles.

Today was the Mid-Autumn Festival. The old lady had allowed her to leave the Tranquil Heart Residence, but she didn't expect to arrive so early in the morning. It would take almost an hour to get here and there. If she kept this up, Ye Jinwei would probably be up before daybreak. And her demeanor … Jin Lan looked at the jewelry that Ye Jinwei was wearing. As expected, it was the set of pure gold jewelry that the Old Granny was giving him.

Seeing Madame SHen and Jin Lan come in, Ye Jinwei immediately stood up and greeted them with a smile, ”Mother, second sister.” The tone was especially intimate.

Jin Lan couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and a sweet smile appeared on his face as he returned her salute. ”Big sister.”

Although Madame SHen's expression was indifferent, she nodded her head, ”Stand up.”

The Old Madame Ye smiled amiably and gently as she sized up Jin Lan's clothes, and then carefully examined the color of her face, waving at her: ”Has Girl Lan been getting better recently?”

Then, he went forward and held Old Madame Ye's arm, ”It's much better now. It's really Lan Er's fault for making grandmother worry.”

”Stop!” The old lady deliberately made a face. ”It's so early in the morning and you want to curse yourself. ”You are my lifeblood. You have to be fine.”

Ye Jinwei also came over, and smiled as she nodded: ”Old granny is right, Second sister, you have to be more careful of your own body. Recently, I have been meditating everyday to pray for second sister's luck, I hope second sister can recover soon.”
