Su Bin's fourth and fifth brothers, along with Qin Zhenzhen's third brother, Qin Sanlong, arrived in Shanglin Prefecture three days before the new year.
The journey from Meijiang Prefecture City to Shanglin was relatively short, taking a day and a half by carriage. However, the winter weather was harsh, with bone-chilling cold winds. Each person had brought several large bags filled with thick clothes and cotton garments, highlighting the inconvenience of traveling, especially for those with children.
Su Qing and Su Cheng were ecstatic about the impending arrival of their nephew. They affectionately addressed Qin Zhenzhen as Third Sister-in-law.
Su Qing had blossomed into a young man, his androgynous features attracting countless admirers. Both he and Qin Sanlong had become valuable aides to Qin Zhenzhen.
Qin Zhenzhen's business operated as a joint venture between the Su and Qin families, adopting a modern business style.
