Meeting Between the Two Families

Chu Qingning returned home, finding it already late.

Li Qingyu said, "Hurry and change your clothes. We're going to the county town to have dinner with Zhaozong's brother and sister-in-law. No matter what, we mustn't lose our manners on our first meeting."

Feeling a bit nervous, Chu Qingning nodded, "Mother, I understand."

Just then, Jiang Zhaozong's voice came from downstairs, "Uncle Chu, Aunt Chu, Qingning, I'm here to pick you up."

Chu Qingning replied, "Coming." She then proceeded to leave.

Today, she had taken special care with her appearance. Chu Qingyan had helped her with a light makeup, making her face look elegant and refined. Dressed in a goose-yellow dress embroidered with beautiful orchids, her hair was styled in a young girl's bun, adorned with a simple orchid hairpin to match her orchid earrings. She looked both formal and beautiful.
